Crackdown has been directed by filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia and marks his digital debut. He had impressed a section of the audience with the hard-hitting Shootout At Lokhandwala and proved his mettle. It remains to be seen whether he hits the right notes with Crackdown.

The Covid-19 lockdown established the digital medium as a force to be reckoned with. Shows such as Illegal (Voot Select), Your Honor (SonyLiv), Bandish Bandits (Amazon Prime Video) and Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain (Zee5/AltBalaji) received favourable reviews from most critics, keeping fans hooked. Many feel, Crackdown too has the potential to be a winner.

Coming back to Big B, he was last seen in the Shoojit Sircar-helmed Gulabo Sitabo that released directly on Amazon Prime Video. The movie received positive reviews from the target audience and is regarded as a success. The 'Shahenshah' currently has Chehere, Jhund and the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Brahmastra in his kitty.
