Amitabh Bachchan's 'lethargic mind' has been triggered by distractions these days — something that were 'unknown' to the megastar earlier. The 'Piku' star took to his blog to pen down some thoughts that he has been 'contending' with both pleasure and great joy.

The actor wrote that people are working from their 'premises' — 'from the homes', but wonders and poses an important question about about what will happen to the 'business that has brought us all together' — films. Amid lockdown, people have resorted to digital platforms to watch different kinds of content. Bachchan asks, "if the theatres shall be subjected to isolation, where and how do our films find release?"

He goes on to write that there have been strong conversations that films will be given 'digital release', "sit at home .. do not move out .. observe lockdowns .. movies shall come to you," Bachchan wrote. " this of course for the ones that are ready to be delivered to the market .. but for the new, some thoughts are being prepared," Amitabh Bachchan wrote in his blog.

He concludes the topic by saying that humanity is slowly seeing 'isolation' as manageable and 'not too disruptive'. But also points out that it is disruptive to the poor, the daily wage earner who doesn't have the facility to work from home. 'Change is inevitable," Bachchan writes.
