Popular Indian singer and rapper, Badshah has confirmed his foray into television production with his first web-series called ‘Lockdown’ on ZEE5.

Badshah’s production known as After-hours, will curate content for digital, film and television platforms.

He was cited in a publication saying, “I am thrilled and nervous to start something new altogether. Production has always enticed me and this is a domain which I have always wanted to explore,”

“The curated series of musicals will stream on Zee Entertainment’s OTT platform Zee 5 that will give the audiences a brand new flavour for consumption. Since One Digital Entertainment has been fruitfully tapping the nerves of content generation in the digital arena, I am looking forward to create some cool content with them.”

Badshah’s foresight is very diverse and we are pleased to be an integral part of his entrepreneurial endeavours.”
