The sudden outbreak of Coronavirus in India shut down Bollywood in its entirety. Actors and actresses and everyone involved in the industry are now staying home. Meanwhile filmmakers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, known simply as Raj and DK have announced a new micro series. The Go Goa Gone directors are soon going to release their show titled A Viral Wedding: Made in Lockdown.
The directors are attempting to promote creative work in the industry even amid the Coronavirus lockdown.
In a recent interview with PTI, Raj said, "We’ve started this initiative especially to encourage a new format of micro-storytelling. It’s called D2R Indie, which will mentor, produce, present innovative works of new and aspiring filmmakers - mostly in micro-storytelling, and sometimes even longer formats."
"The idea is to encourage filmmakers to use this opportunity to make the most of what they have under the current circumstances. It is actually for anyone who wants to beat the blues, and find innovative ways of creating something from home or under restrictive circumstances,” he added.
Speaking about the show itself Raj said, "The Viral Wedding has lockdown, the relationship micro-series is about two unlikely people stuck together in the lockdown. Right now the theme might be about that because it is unique, it is history defining moment."
Raj concluded saying, "We all are filmmakers and at the end of the day you can’t put a filmmaker at home but you can’t keep them away from making films. Necessity is the mother of invention. Instead of waiting for the good days to come this is an effort to try and do the best we can with what we have in hand.”
