In spite of taking all precautions while shooting, I’ve tested positive with mild symptoms,” the Nagarkirtan director said on Facebook. “Currently in home isolation under Dr Rajib Seal. Requesting those who came in touch with me in the last 7 days to get themselves tested. Humanity will win,” he said.
