‘A Viral Wedding’ ushers a new kind of lockdown binging  

The lockdown has drastically changed the world of entertainment. Films and TV shows have been replaced by OTT platforms and the entertainment fraternity is somehow trying to survive in these testing times when they almost can’t work. But despite all odds and despite facing huge losses, the industry is trying to survive in its own way. One such effort is ‘A Viral Wedding: Made In Lockdown’ which was shot indoors during the ongoing lockdown.

‘A Viral Wedding’ is a lighthearted attempt to look at the consequences of an unprecedented lockdown. Since many couples are willing to take wedding vows on the planned date rather than postpone, they are not hesitant to try the new idea of virtual wedding.

Actor Amol Parashar is happy to be part of the show. The show is produced by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, and directed by actress Shreya Dhanwanthary. “It has been a fulfilling and innovative process to be able to act and create something with a great team even amidst lockdown. It is a unique show, just by the nature of its making... While creators like us are looking for interesting things to do in the lockdown, the audiences are looking for interesting things to consume. So, it’s a win-win for all,” Amol said.

Shreya, who also features in the show apart from directing it, said: “I have been working on the show since its inception. Creating content in these times of lockdown which can be enjoyed by everyone has been a great learning experience. ‘A Viral Wedding’ brings a unique experience to the audience in that the characters and the audience are living through the same exact reality. To add a wedding in this scenario is something that I hope audiences will like for its unique content.” The show has started streaming on Eros Now from May 9.

Ridhima Lulla, Chief Content Officer, Eros Group said: “A Viral Wedding is such a unique show with a never seen before storyline. It is emotional, funny, and extremely real at the same time.
