Commenting on the same, Aanand L Rai said, “During this lockdown, I've taken out a lot of time to prep up for the upcoming schedules of Atrangi Re. I'm really excited to start the next schedule which is planned to happen in Madurai from October onwards and then with Akshay for a month in Delhi and Mumbai, with all the safety precautions of course."
