"Hello everyone! I've been shooting for Dijo Jose Antony's "Jana Gana Mana" since the 7th of October. We had strict protocols in place with regard to Covid regulations and associated safety measures. As is the norm, all involved in the shoot were tested before the schedule started and the last day of shoot in the courtroom set we had put up, tests were repeated. Unfortunately, the test results this time came back positive and I have gone into isolation. I'm asymptomatic and am doing fine now. All primary and secondary contacts have been advised to isolate and get tested. Hoping to recover soon and get back to work ASAP. Cheers and thanks for the love and concern.", wrote Prithviraj Sukumaran in his post.
