The year 2020 was rather different from conventional years due to the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown that shut businesses the world over. Another casualty of this was the film industry nearly shutting down with theatres and shooting of films grinding to a halt. However, despite the pandemic, there has been a lot happening in Bollywood.
