The world came to a standstill after the COVID-19 pandemic caused the governments to issue lockdowns across the globe. In India, the first lockdown was initiated in March 2020. Several industries were hit hard by the pandemic. The film industry was one that was hit the hardest. With theatres across the nation shutting down and shooting stalled indefinitely, the once-thriving Bollywood industry had to hit a pause button. The pandemic scripted a tale of unprecedented challenges for the flourishing industry that came to a screeching halt in 2020. But eventually, the lockdown was eased and the film industry reopened with new vigour accepting the new normal and new challenges to shoot in these difficult times.
As we approach a year of the first nationwide lockdown, producer Anand Pandit, who has three films lined up for release Chehre, The Big Bull and Well Done Baby, in an exclusive chat with mid-day.com talked about his learning from the COVID-19 pandemic and also on how we must be grateful of what we have. The Big Bull producer on the challenges of shooting in this new normal said, "Well, who would have imagined that producers like me would have COVID-19 watchdogs on sets? Or that we would have to shoot with masks, sanitisation tunnels and social distancing in an industry that thrives on the synergy between close-knit teams at work. But then here we are, still standing tall, having survived not just the worst, most uncertain months of the lockdown but making films, and releasing them, believe it or not, in theatres."
