However, there is still no clarity on the test reports from Dhawan and Neetu Kapoor, as well as on film director Raj Mehta.
The cast and crew had undergone a test run before starting the film last month.
Neetu Kapoor, 62, had posted on Instagram that the cast was “COVID tested and safe.”
“Jug Jugg Jeeyo”, produced by Karan Johar, marks Neetu Kapoor’s return to the big screen.
The veteran actress had last appeared in 2013’s “Besharam,” which also starred her actor son Ranbir Kapoor and her late husband Rishi Kapoor. – PTI
