Safety measures may have been put in place while resuming film shoots amid the coronavirus crisis, but the threat still looms large. The courtroom drama, Nail Polish, is the latest production to come to a halt after actors Anand Tiwari and Manav Kaul reportedly tested positive. Actor Arjun Rampal, who also began shooting for the project on 21 September, is quarantining himself at home.
Taking to Twitter, Rampal informed his fans that while everyone had been retested, he was awaiting his results while staying under self-quarantine at home.
