The co-producer of the movie, Ram Setu has revealed that only 25 out 190 people actually tested COVID-19 positive. He crushed the rumours about 45 being tested from COVID-19 positive and addressed the story to be inaccurate and misrepresented. He said, “It is absolutely inaccurate and a total misrepresentation of facts.”
He also added,“In line with the same, and ahead of the shoot to be held on April 5 in Madh Island, around 190 people were tested on 3rd at an off-location testing camp in Versova, Mumbai from which a certain number were to be selected for the shoot. Out of these 190-odd people, 25 people tested positive and were, therefore, removed from those who qualified to be part of the unit for shoot the next day”.
He also revealed that the expenses for all such tests is borne entirely by the film’s production and is also monitored by the same.
Ram Setu is a multi-starrer movie, with Akshay Kumar, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Jacqueline Fernandez. The movie’s shoot has been put to halt since Akshay Kumar and others from the cast have been tested COVID-19 positive.
