Shah Rukh Khan reportedly self-isolates after ‘Pathan’ crew contracts COVID

B-Town superstar Shah Rukh Khan has quarantined himself after crew members of his upcoming film tested positive for COVID-19, if reports are to be believed. 

According to a report by DNA India, the shooting process for his upcoming film, Pathan, may have come to a halt for two days after some crew members tested positive for COVID-19.

That being said, a trade source told the portal that things aren’t bad as the reports have been claiming as all COVID-19 guidelines were being rigorously followed: "YRF (Yash Raj Films) 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 the 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,” said the insider.

“Given that lockdown is imminent in Mumbai, the 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,” they added.
