About India Lockdown Movie:
The shoot of the film started after the 2020 lockdown. The shoots were wrapped by March 2021.
For research on her role, Shweta Basu Prasad visited sex workers in Mumbai’s red light district, Kamathipura, where she learned a lot about their mannerisms and lingo which she later incorporated into her own performance.
Shweta Basu Prasad claims her performance was heavily influenced by films that she had grown up watching, particularly Sharmila Tagore’s Mausam (1975), Smita Patil’s Mandi (1983) and Kareena Kapoor’s Chameli (2004).
India Lockdown was released on ZEE5 on December 2, 2022.
