Amitabh And Abhishek Bachchan will resume shoots post monsoons as they are hospitalised due to COVID-19

The global pandemic COVID 19 has now taken its toll in the Bollywood industry. It was this Saturday eve when the superstar Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan were tested positive for COVID-19. They revealed this news on their official Twitter handles. Since then, fan and followers are wishing for their speedy recovery as every platform of social media is flooded with their messages.

Big B along with his actor-son has been admitted to Vile Parle’s Nanavati Hospital. The doctors reported that though their conditions are quite stable and have just mild symptoms for now, the next 20 days of their treatment will be crucial. This has also put a brake on the actors’ professional commitments. Although Amitabh has no shooting schedule lined up till September, Abhishek, on the other hand, was supposed to get back with shooting of The Big Bull.

The producer of this crime film, Anand Pandit, reached out to the actor on hearing the news and said:

“We had maintained that we will begin shooting by July-end or early August. We can easily push the shoot to a later date now. After all, their health comes first”.

He further added:

“The October release of The Big Bull stands unchanged. We may have to expedite the post-production work to meet the release date.”

According to a source close to the film:

“Even though shoots have begun, stricter lockdown rules have been imposed in the city now. Several areas of south Kolkata are identified as containment zones. In light of the situation and Abhishek’s health, the producers have deferred the week-long shoot; they will probably head to work only post-monsoon.”
