‘Gupta Brothers…’ producer Mahesh Pandey says that one needs to find the good even in a bad situation

The entertainment industry was shut down for almost three months during the nationwide lockdown that was imposed in March. A lot of shows went off-air during that time, and producer couple Madhu and Mahesh Pandey’s “Vidya” was one of them. The latter revealed that the entire lockdown was a difficult time for everybody, and it had hit them financially, but once the shooting resumed, his main focus was to create awareness about Covid-19 on his sets.

 

Mahesh Pandey Productions launched a new show called “Gupta Brothers” a few months after the shooting resumed and revealed that he ensured everyone took care of the safety and precautionary measures.

 

Sharing his experience of 2020 and the lockdown, he said, “In the first two months we didn’t even know what to do. It was honestly like someone had put us in a big black tunnel where we could just wait to see where it leads to. It was very disappointing as I lost ‘Vidya’ too on the way. It hit us financially and even our planning was affected. But I guess you need to find the good even in a bad situation. So, all of us buckled up and we resumed shoots and luckily everything is going well with all the shows.”

 

“Initially, there was a scare, all of us had apprehensions, but now the industry is back on its feet. We are slowly going towards normalcy. The biggest challenge we faced earlier was the fear, and there was no cure for that, but once we got over it, we adjusted well to the new normal. My main focus the entire time was the awareness part because I felt if there was awareness people will take precautions themselves and will be careful,” he added.

 

What are your expectations from 2021? “In 2021, I want everyone to be healthy and happy. I wish people fulfill all their desires that were left incomplete in 2020, and I want my show ‘Gupta Brothers’ to do well,” Mahesh concluded.
