With the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown that followed, filmmakers opted to released number of films such as Akshay Kumar's Laxmii, the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Gulabo Sitabo and Anurag Basu's Ludo directly on to OTT platforms.
Directed by Abir Sengupta, the films sees Advani play Indoo Gupta, a woman from Ghaziabad whose experiments with a dating app lead to some unexpected hilarious consequences.
Indoo Ki Jawani also stars Student Of The Year 2 (2019) actor Aditya Seal and Mallika Dua. The film is being bankrolled by Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikhil Advani, and co-produced by Niranjan Iyengar and Ryan Stephen.
After being shut for over six months due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown, cinema halls were allowed to function at 50% occupancy by the central home ministry in October. The Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari and Tillotama Shome’s Sir were among the first Hindi films to be released in theatres.
