He said, “Ram Setu has been taking full precautions. It is really unfortunate that 45 people from our Junior Artistes Association have tested positive. They have been quarantined.” Those who have been tested positive are given medical attention by Akshay Kumar’s production house Cape Good Films and Vikram Malhotra’s Abundantia Entertainment.
“Every precautionary test is done a couple of days in advance. Those who don’t clear the test are isolated and even paid by the ‘Ram Setu’ producers. This unit is so careful that even if a person is feeling low on a particular day, he/she is immediately isolated in the provisions that have been done in the vicinity of where the shoot is being conducted. You will find a maximum number of PPE kits on the sets of Ram Setu. Lakhs of rupees have been spent on tests and isolations since Day 1,” Ashok Dubey continued speaking of the measure taken by the makers.
