Social Media Announcement and Creative Team
Taking to his official social media timeline, Raghunanthan, known for his outstanding work in National Award-winning films like 'Thenmerku Paruvakaatru' and 'Neer Paravai', posted a simple yet significant update: "Lockdown movie final mix going on." This confirmation has generated considerable excitement among Tamil cinema enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the film's release.
The musical score for 'Lockdown' represents a collaborative effort between two talented composers: N R Raghunanthan and Siddharth Vipin. The film is directed by A R Jeeva and features rising star Anupama Parameswaran in the lead role, playing the character of Anitha.
Compelling Storyline Based on True Events
'Lockdown' stands out as a woman-centric film that draws its narrative power from a true story, creating substantial expectations among audiences. The recently released trailer provides gripping insights into the film's intense storyline.

The plot takes a dramatic turn when the Indian government announces a 21-day nationwide lockdown to control the spread of COVID-19, forcing Anitha to remain at home. Her unusual behavior begins to worry her parents, particularly her mother who notices Anitha constantly checking her phone and experiencing sudden temper outbursts.
As the story unfolds, the trailer shows Anitha and her friend attempting to contact a doctor who has been isolated after contracting the coronavirus. In a particularly concerning development, Anitha is seen desperately calling all her friends to borrow cash, causing her parents to become increasingly anxious about her mysterious behavior.
