MUMBAI: As we know, the Coronavirus outbreak has brought the world to a standstill and forced a lockdown on us. With this, the shooting of many daily soap operas and movies has come to a halt. Some people have nothing during the quarantine. While many are making the most of this time by doing useful and productive things, others are relying on OTT platforms for some entertainment and new content.
Fans are eagerly awaiting dramas on Amazon Prime including Saif Ali Khan's Dilli, Abhishek Bachchan's Breathe 2, and gangster drama Mirzapur 2, which stars Ali Fazal. Since people are under house arrest, this could be the perfect time to release the shows. However, it cannot happen. Even though the shows have been shot, the post-production work is pending, claims Aparna Purohit, Content Head, Amazon Originals India, to Mid-Day.

Talking about the same, she was quoted by the portal, 'Offline edits can happen from home, but for everything else, we require a dubbing studio. Most of these things require multiple people in the same vicinity. We are yet to assess the impact and negotiate how we will meet deadlines. We are in no hurry to put out content. We have Four More Shots Please 2 and Pataal Lok lined up. Mirzapur 2 and other shows will be out at some point this year.'
She also mentioned to the portal that their slate will have to be reworked amid the current scenario. 'We are trying to put out shows as soon as we can. At this point of time, shoots have been stopped. Many of our projects have gone into hiatus. There's nothing we can do except work with our partners and find a way around it,' she said.
