The new strain of coronavirus is creating havoc in India. As per a report in Pinkvilla, Shah Rukh Khan who was shooting for Pathan has gone into quarantine. The superstar apparently took this decision after some crew members tested positive for the virus. It seems the shoot of the film has been stalled. Filmmaker Siddharth Anand also decided to get himself tested for the same. The members of the film who tested positive have been quarantined at a hotel in Andheri. It seems they have been kept at the Courtyard Hotel. Pathan is a huge action entertainer made by Yash Raj Films. But now, Shah Rukh Khan is in the stadium watching the KKR Vs Mumbai match.

A trade source told BollywoodLife, "YRF works in an extremely efficient bio bubble. Tests happen regularly on sets and all crew members are staying in a hotel. The people transporting them from set to hotel is also tested and put up in hotels. So, if there is anyone who tests positive, it would be before the schedule starts and automatically eliminated from the crew. Given that lockdown is imminent in Mumbai, Pathan crew had anyway taken a 2 day scheduled break so that they can gauge the decision. It doesn’t make sense to start a new schedule and halt it. So, if there is no lockdown, the film will anyway resume soon. This has been blown out of proportion and is factually extremely inaccurate. It is irresponsible to say the least because the industry is doing its best to ensure that work happens by maintaining all norms and regulations."
