In a rare casting coup, superstars of the South like Rajinikanth, Mohanlal, Mammootty and Chiranjeevi have featured alongside Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bahchan, Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt among others in a short film which campaigns the importance of staying at home during this Coronavirus lockdown. 

The movie was put together after the clippings of each of these actors were shot individually from their respective homes and it is a collaboration between Sony TV Network and Kalyan Jewellers. The video comes at a time when the number of COVID-19 positive cases in India has risen to 4000+ when it was just 1 in the first two months of 2020.
