Varun Dhawan, Neetu Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, as well as actor Kiara Advani, are part of an upcoming rom-com, Jug Jug Jeeyo.

Following the news that Varun and Neetu had tested positive, it was confirmed that the Mr India star and Kiara had tested negative. However, rumour had spread in sections of social media that Anil has also tested Covid positive.

Denying unconfirmed reports that her father has tested positive, Sonam Kapoor has subsequently tweeted, "False reporting is dangerous. I'm sitting in London and I see incorrect information peddled by some parts of the media before I can even speak to my father. Please be responsible in your reportage."

The shoot of Jug Jugg Jeeyo has reportedly been put on hold for now. Just a few weeks back, a video of Neetu Kapoor taking the Covid-19 test on the sets had gone viral and often, the senior star gave fans a glimpse of the precautions being taken on the sets of the film including the crew wearing PPE suits, masks and gloves.

The film’s cast also includes Kiara, Maniesh Paul and Prajakta Koli. While Maniesh recently joined them in Chandigarh, Kiara and Prajakta had jetted off along with Neetu, Varun and Anil from the private airport in Mumbai last month.
