It's dangerous: Shekhar Kapur on filming in close interiors

Bandit Queen director Shekhar Kapur on Monday took to Twitter and sent out a message of warning, emphasising on how dangerous is to start filming in close interior spaces amid COVID-19.

Mumbai: Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur feels it's risky to resume shooting or dubbing in close interior spaces amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On Monday, Kapur took to Twitter and praised the stars for showing courage to publicly open up about contracting COVID-19. Along with it, he also emphasised on how dangerous is to start work in close interior spaces.

"As we pray for the recovery of our beloved stars, let's admire their courage in declaring that have symptoms of #Covid_19 How many are not telling the world? Proves it's dangerous to start filming/dubbing in close interior spaces. Studios will just become huge sources of infection," he tweeted.

Kapur's tweet comes in the wake of Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aaradhya Bachchan tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Abhishek was spotted at a dubbing studio in Mumbai a couple of days ago. He was recording for his web series Breathe: Into The Shadows which also stars actor Amit Sadh.

A day after the Bachchans were tested positive for COVID-19, Sadh underwent precautionary measures and got himself tested for the novel virus.

"Thank you for your prayers and concerns. This is the only time I say happily I am negative. To all people battling this, my prayers and thoughts continue. Love you. Togetherness is the only strength," Sadh posted on Twitter on Monday.
