Well my editing, background score, sound design as well as VFX and a a lot of which had started pre lockdown is going on. The worst affected are the daily wage earners who will find it very difficult. How do you keep yourself busy since everything is in lockdown, anything that you are doing in this free time? I am doing a lot of things including writing the ‘ Shootout 3 ’, apart from spending quality time with my family. Do as you're told because your responsibility also affects the safety of your family and others around you.
