Bollywood filmmakers unite for #IndiaLetsMakeAFilm initiative amid the Coronavirus lockdown

Renowned directors and producers, including Ekta Kapoor, Nitesh Tiwari, Aanand L Rai, Sajid Nadiadwala, Dinesh Vijan and Mahaveer Jain, have come together for #IndiaLetsMakeAFilm initiative, to inspire people to make inspiring one-minute films on mobile phones amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

The initiative is calling out for one-minute mobile video entries from people across the country, where one can choose from one of these topics - 'The good side of quarantine', 'hum honge kamyaab', 'innovative lockdown tales', 'let's follow the safety norms', 'help, care and concern in lockdown' and 'thank you, our frontline heroes'.

Sharing news of the initiative, filmmaker Karan Johar lauded the industry members and shared a message on Twitter which read, "Glad to present this amazing initiative by my friends #IndiaLetsMakeAFilm Make 1-minute inspiring film on ur mobile while staying home #ChangeWithin. What's amazing is that these films made at home will encourage the spirit of India."
