Actor Aftab Shivdasani has opened up on shooting during the pandemic. He says portions of his upcoming web series has to be tweaked in order to meet social distancing norms.
Aftab’s latest digital assignment is the series “Poison 2“. The actor spoke of the time director Vishal Pandya would say “start sound” for a shot and he would forget to take off his mask because they got so used wearing the protective gear.
“The shoot had been pretty much on course and we had shot quite a bit of the show but then there was an unexpected halt due to the pandemic for about three months. Once the government eased the rules a bit and gave the necessary SOP’s, we all slowly and carefully eased back onto the set taking all the necessary precautions and safety measures while shooting,” Aftab Shivdasani said.
