The team of ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’ had only recently started the shoot for the film but the shoot has been stalled as the cast has tested positive for Covid-19. Varun Dhawan, Neetu Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Maniesh Paul and the rest of the cast had jetted off to Chandigarh for the shoot but the makers had to pull the brakes due to unexpected turn of events.
Recently, Varun, Neetu and director Raj Mehta had tested positive for Covid-19 and now it is reported that comedian turned actor Maniesh has also tested positive or Covid-19. A report by ETimes says that a source revealed that Maniesh had returned to Mumbai when he started feeling feverish and after getting tested his results came positive.
