With an alarming surge in Covid-19 cases across the country, film producers and production houses have become extra cautious to ensure the safety of the entire cast and crew of their respective projects. Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who is looking forward to starting shooting the last schedule of his highly-anticipated film ‘Sanak’ in Goa this month, has ensured extra measures on the movie set.
Starring Vidyut Jammwal and debutant actress Rukmini Maitra, the movie also features Neha Dhupia in a special performance along with Chandan Roy Sanyal in a pivotal role. The poster of ‘Sanak’ launched at the beginning of this year, created a lot of buzzes and garnered immense anticipation.
Talking about the precautionary measures being taken for the last schedule of ‘Sanak’, director Kanishk Verma informs, “We only have the Goa schedule left. There is a sudden surge in the (covid-19) cases and the whole country is going through this. To be very honest, we have been very strict from the beginning as far as sanitisation and covid precautions on the set are concerned. We never took it lightly, even when we started the principal photography of the movie in January. I think we have been lucky enough to not have a single case for three months and back-to-back shooting because we were quite strict with safety measures and responsible. We made sure that everybody on set maintained the social distancing protocol. Only the people absolutely needed for the shot were there on the set. At any given point, we didn’t have more than 10-15 people on the shooting floor. Everyone was sent to the different rooms and corners and were called in when needed. Though this affected the shoot time but everybody was very responsible and played their part well. Hence, we managed to finish the shoot in three months without any injury or covid cases. In fact, all equipment on set, cars and bikes of artists and crew members were also sanitised as soon as they arrived on set.”
