But if see the number of Covid-19 cases in foreign countries it is much less compared to our Maharashtra and India, so the risk is very less which is why I choose London. I have also done a lot of shooting here in the past. Our film unit is only of 20-25 people. Before heading towards London, for everyone’s safety, we also started the immunity boost up course as per my doctor’s guidance. Before leaving India each one of us did 3 Covid tests and after getting the negative result I did the work of visa and tickets. We also took Covid insurance and the use of sanitizer and mask is also followed. Risk and fear will be there but we will complete our shoot by following all the safety measures.”
