While the 52-year-old admits that there is trouble around, he insists this is the time to come together to fight the virus: “Our theatres are in a lot of trouble, but the nation is in bigger trouble. Now is not the time to talk about personal losses. This is the time for us to get together as a nation.”
Bhatt had been shooting for a project, Anamika, with actor Sunny Leone, but work came to a halt as a lockdown was announced in Maharashtra, last month. “I was almost done with the shoot when work was again stopped. We did rapid antigen tests every day and an RT-PCR every seven days. Luckily, I had another project, (recently released web series) Bisaat: Khel Shatranj Ka, which I had finished in the interim period where we had less cases,” he says.
Ask what’s keeping him occupied in this lockdown, and Bhatt reveals he is writing a lot. “My boss Mahesh Bhatt, an integral part of my company’s creative process, is on my case when I’m not doing enough. He is a taskmaster. Thankfully, writing is something you can do when you’re in a lockdown,” he
signs off.
