Shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 stopped on finding Kartik Aaryan Covid +ve

‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ lead hero Kartik Aaryan’s routine mandatory check, which led to reveal that he has been infected with COVID, has thrown the shoot into jeopardy. The shooting has been stopped and the set at Mumbai’s Chitra Studio (Powai) now wears a deserted look. A source says, “Kartik shot for the film just yesterday.
Elaborating on the stoppage, the source said, “They had a 2-day break, today and tomorrow as they are changing some colors on the set. But they were definitely supposed to shoot from Wednesday. That now however seems very unlikely. The second wave has driven everyone crazy and it seems to be sweeping very strongly.”
Talking about Kartik, the source said, “Kartik comes from a family of doctors. He was incredibly cautious about his sanitisation and mask. There was a boy constantly behind him, with a sanitiser in hand. Kartik did not remove his mask for even a second other than when he was filming the scene. It is really puzzling as to how he contracted the infection.
Besides the test that rendered the positive result was a routine one which had been made compulsory at least twice a week on the ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ set. Kartik had no symptoms whatsoever.”
