Nushrratt Bharuccha In Isolation After 'Ram Setu' Co-star Akshay Kumar Tests Covid-19 Positive

Over the last few days, Akshay was shooting for Ram Setu, co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez and Nushrratt Bharuccha. 

Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha isolated as a precautionary measure on Monday, after her "Ram Setu" co-star Akshay Kumar was hospitalised with Covid infection. Nushrratt had herself tested, and the result is awaited.

"Isolation. Steam Inhalation. Precautions. Stay Safe," the actress wrote on a boomerang video she posted on Instagram Story.

"As soon as Nushrratt got to know that Akshay Kumar had tested positive, she immediately self-isolated. She is observing precautionary measures as advised by the doctors, to maintain best health when the shoot resumes," a source close to the actress said.

Earlier in the day, Akshay informed on social media that he had been hospitalised after testing positive for the virus. Forty-five members of the "Ram Setu" crew have tested positive, too. Akshay Kumar is admitted to Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital in Powai and is under observation.

Akshay was one of the first big Bollywood stars to resume work after the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions were lifted. He began shooting for the espionage thriller Bellbottom in Scotland in August last year and even worked double shifts to finish the film within a 45-day schedule.

Over the last few days, Akshay was shooting for Ram Setu, co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez and Nushrratt Bharuccha. 

"Ram Setu" is scheduled to release next year. Nushrratt also has "Chhorri", "Hurdang", "Janhit Mein Jaari" and "Ajeeb Daastaans" coming up.

Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) President B.C. N. spoke to ABP News and confirmed the update. Tiwari further said that the shooting of 'Ram Setu' has been stopped for the time being after Akshay Kumar tested Covid positive along with 45 other people associated with the shooting.
