After a significant decline in the spread of Covid-19 in India, the country is once again reporting an uptick in cases and witnessing the early second wave of the pandemic. As per reports, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has quarantined himself. The actor took his decision after some crew members tested positive for the virus.
As per the recent reports, the shoot of the film, ‘Pathan’ has been put on hold. The crew members are in isolation and have been quarantined. It seems they have been kept at the Courtyard Hotel. Earlier, the film’s shooting had to stopped for several reasons. The people associated with the film, ‘Pathan’ are concerned about their safety ever since few crew members have tested positive for Covid-19.
According to a source, “YRF works in an extremely efficient bio bubble. Tests happen regularly on sets and all crew members are staying in a hotel. The people transporting them from set to hotel is also tested and put up in hotels. So, if there is anyone who tests positive, it would be before the schedule starts and automatically eliminated from the crew. Given that lockdown is imminent in Mumbai, Pathan crew had anyway taken a 2 day scheduled break so that they can gauge the decision. It doesn’t make sense to start a new schedule and halt it. So, if there is no lockdown, the film will anyway resume soon. This has been blown out of proportion and is factually extremely inaccurate. It is irresponsible to say the least because the industry is doing its best to ensure that work happens by maintaining all norms and regulations.”
Panthan is the most anticipated movie of this year and fans have been waiting for this movie. The film has created a good buzz thanks to Shah Rukh Khan and his look. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and has John Abraham and Deepika Padukone in the cast as well. Pathan is a huge action entertainer made by Yash Raj Films.
