Several
Bollywood
projects
went
on
floors
last
month,
among
which
was
director
Raj
Mehta's
upcoming
comedy-drama
Jug
Jugg
Jeeyo.
A
news
report
has
revealed
that
members
of
the
film's
cast
and
crew
including
Varun
Dhawan,
and
Raj
Mehta
have
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
The
cast
and
crew
of
the
film
flew
to
Chandigarh
in
mid-November
to
commence
shooting
amid
the
pandemic.
While
the
makers
are
careful
about
the
safety
guidelines,
Filmfare
reported
that
cast
members
Varun
Dhawan,
Neetu
Kapoor
and
director
Raj
Mehta
have
in
fact
tested
positive.
The
report
also
revealed
that
they
were
tested
before
they
left
Mumbai
and
regular
check-ups
were
also
held
while
on
set.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
Anil
Kapoor
has
also
tested
positive,
but
a
source
revealed
to
the
portal
that
the
actor
has
tested
negative.
The
stars
are
yet
to
confirm
the
news
and
more
details
are
awaited.
However,
the
shooting
has
now
been
halted.
A
new
report
in
E
Times
quoted
Boney
Kapoor
saying,
"Anil
has
tested
negative."
Talking
about
Jug
Jugg
Jeeyo,
the
film
also
stars
Kiara
Advani
and
YouTuber
MostlySane
aka
Prajakta
Koli
in
the
leading
roles.
Last
week,
makers
released
the
first
look
of
Varun
and
Kiara,
who
are
set
to
play
husband
and
wife.
The
film
also
marks
Neetu
Kapoor's
return
to
the
big
screen.
She
had
also
shared
pictures
and
clips
from
day
one
of
the
shoots.
In
the
caption,
she
wrote,
"Back
on
set
after
so
many
years.
To
new
beginnings
and
the
magic
of
the
movies.
I
feel
YOUR
love
and
presence.
From
mom,
to
Kapoor
Sahab,
to
Ranbir
always
being
with
me
..
now
I
find
myself
all
by
myself,
feeling
a
little
scared
but
I
know
you
are
always
with
me
#JugJuggJeeyo
#RnR."
Jug
Jugg
Jeeyo
