At
the
beginning
of
the
year,
OTT
giant
Amazon
Prime
Video
had
announced
its
exciting
line
up
of
original
programming
for
India.
The
list
consisted
of
14
shows
including
Saif
Ali
Khan
starrer
Dilli,
Breathe
2
with
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Excel
Entertainment’s
Mirzapur
2.
However,
due
to
the
COVID-19
outbreak,
film
and
TV
productions
across
the
globe
have
come
to
a
complete
halt.
Even
though
some
of
the
aforementioned
shows
have
already
been
shot,
the
post-production
work
on
the
projects
cannot
be
completed
on
schedule
under
the
given
circumstances.

head
of
Amazon
Originals
in
India,
Aparna
Purohit
recently
spoke
to
Mid-Day
about
the
challenges
they
are
facing
with
regards
to
their
upcoming
shows.
Aparna
said,
"Offline
edits
can
happen
from
home,
but
for
everything
else,
we
require
a
dubbing
studio.
Most
of
these
things
require
multiple
people
in
the
same
vicinity.
We
are
yet
to
assess
the
impact
and
negotiate
how
we
will
meet
deadlines.
We
are
in
no
hurry
to
put
out
content.
We
have
Four
More
Shots
Please
2
and
Pataal
Lok
lined
up.
Mirzapur
2
and
other
shows
will
be
out
at
some
point
this
year.
She
went
on
to
add,
“We
are
trying
to
put
out
shows
as
soon
as
we
can.
At
this
point
of
time,
shoots
have
been
stopped.
Many
of
our
projects
have
gone
into
hiatus.
There's
nothing
we
can
do
except
work
with
our
partners
and
find
a
way
around
it."
