While many struggled to get basic amenities, there were many who faced financial crisis too, people were unable to pay rent, and they were stuck in one place and couldn’t even return to their hometowns. Content writer and producer, Santosh Gupta is bringing one such story on OTT. 

He has produced a short film titled “Quarantine Zindagi”, which is based on the lives of struggling actors during the lockdown. He shared that they shot the entire film with just three technicians. 

Talking about the USP of the film he said, “I think the way we shot it, with only three technicians especially during this COVID scenario and lockdown is what makes this film unique. We did all the work, from dubbing to music and everything, online.”
