Manoj Bajpayee self-quarantines at home

Actor Manoj Bajpayee has tested covid positive. According to sources, the actor caught the virus while shooting for his film, Despatch which is being produced by Ronnie Screwvala. The shoot for the film has halted and will resume in a month’s time. The film’s director Kanu Behl had also tested positive for COVID-19 a while ago.
Bajpayee is on medication and recovering. The actor is also in self-quarantine at home and following all precautions. Despatch is based around the world of crime journalism. “As an actor I want to be part of stories that I want to tell and that deserve to be told. Despatch is one such film. With the digital age, our stories can now reach and be accessed by viewers across the globe and I’m confident this film will have many takers because it is relevant to our times. I am looking forward to collaborating with Kanu Behl who is well versed with the changing times and has total control on his craft of storytelling,” Bajpayee had said earlier in a statement.
