Mumbai: Actor-RJ Abhilash Thapliyal has come up with a short film titled Thoughts on mental health during the lockdown, because he feels it is important to talk about the subject at a time when world is facing severe health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Said Abhishek, about the film directed by Dane Ross: "One of the pitfalls of the lockdown is that anxiety and depression have aggravated. When Dane shared the concept with me, I was more than glad to be on board. I am usually more comfortable doing happier roles, so this required me to shed all my inhibitions. Due to the lockdown, we had to shoot with a very basic camera set-up. It is our humble attempt to encourage people to not lose hope and assure them that we are all together in this battle."
