Varun Dhawan and Neetu Kapoor recently tested Covid-19 positive. The actors were shooting for their new film, Jug Jugg Jeeyo, in Chandigarh. Raj Mehta, the director of the film, has also tested positive. The unit had been shooting for the comic caper since last month.
A source from the unit told mid-day, "The hotel was immediately disinfected, and Varun, Raj and Neetuji were put in isolation in their respective rooms. Their symptoms are mild so far, and are being monitored by doctors."
Anil Kapoor, Kiara Advani, and Mismatched star Prajakta Koli, who also feature in the film, have tested negative for the virus. And now, Kapoor is back home safe and sound. Mr Jhakaas gave a thumbs-up sign on his arrival in a chartered aircraft. He quashed rumours that he had also tested positive.
"In the interest of putting any rumours to rest, I have tested negative for COVID-19. Thank you all for your concern and good wishes," Anil Kapoor tweeted on Friday.
