The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the film industry to a standstill as several high-profile films have been postponed to ensure the safety of the public. F9, Sooryavanshi, Salman Khan’s Radhe and the Tamil biggie Master are some of the flicks that failed to keep their date with the janta. The coronavirus crisis has also forced the makers of films such as Ponmagal Vandhal, Penguin and the Kannada legal drama Law to opt for a digital release, skipping the theatrical route.

Coming back to Amitabh, he was last seen in the Shoojit Sircar-helmed Gulabo Sitabo that released directly on Amazon Prime Video amid the Covid-19 lockdown. The film, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana as the parallel lead, received rave reviews from a section of the audience.

He will next be seen in Jhund. The ‘Sadi Ka Mahanayak’ also has the Chehere (co-starring Emraan Hashmi) and the Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra in his kitty.
