Mumbai, June 13: Director Feroz Abbas Khan, known for theatre productions like "Mughal-e-Azam" the musical, and films like "Gandhi My Father", has conceived and directed an animation series titled "Adalat-e-Corona". It is a series of videos that use entertainment-education to convey impactful message.
He said: "Due to the lockdown, we were pushed to explore the animation medium. 'Adalat-e-Corona' uses the familiar setting of a courtroom drama to disseminate key messages, tackle misinformation, and reinforce a sense of solidarity around the fight against Covid-19. We wanted the series to be accessible and relatable. To that end we used humour and situations people often find themselves in."
