Mumbai’s shooting schedules are in a state of semi-paralysis, what with a total lockdown looming large over the state, the city and entertainment business.

While actor Kartik Aaryan has recovered completely from the Covid virus and is itching to get back to work,the Bhool Bhulaiya team would rather wait and watch the developments over the next few days.

Says a source, “There is an expensive set to be built for the pending schedule of Bhool Bhulaiya 2. What if the set is built and then Mumbai goes for a complete lockdown indefinitely? The team would be stuck with a costly unused wasted set. They would rather wait and watch the developments in the next few weeks rather than taking a call on the next shooting schedule.”

In the meanwhile Rupali Ganguly the leading lady of the very popular television serial Anupamaa has stuck down reports that she returns to shooting any time soon. In a conversation with me she said she will return only when she regains her strength, as right now she is suffering from post-Covid exhaustion.
