India Lockdown, as the name suggests will be based on the lockdown that was imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier this year, Madhur Bhandarkar made it to the headlines as he accused Karan Johar of stealing his title for the latter’s Netflix show ‘The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’. Johar apologised and tweaked his show’s name.
