The Lucifer director took to his Instagram to inform everyone that he is hoping the his team of 58 will return to India soon. His lengthy post was also plea to bring focus to his crew members who are waiting to return to Kerala safely. The actor maintained that his plea is not to make his case a priority, but an update on their current situation. The crew is now lodged at a resort.

The team, led by director Blessy, were in Jordon in March when the coronavirus lockdown came into effect. Initially, they had decided to continue filming until the second week of April, but their permission to shoot got revoked on March 27 once the local authorities became more stringent with the lockdown.
