Superstar Mahesh Babu has gone into self-isolation after his personal stylist tested positive for COVID-19 on the sets of Sarkaru Vaari Paata. According to a source, the family doctor of Mahesh Babu has suggested the actor stay in isolation as a precautionary measure. "Mahesh Babu's personal stylist has contracted novel coronavirus last week while shooting for the film and Mahesh has been cautioned to go in isolation as he had worked closely with him. Mahesh won't resume the shoot of Sarkaru Vaari Paata for at least a week now," says a source close to the development.

Besides Mahesh's stylist, four other members of the production team have contracted the infection around the same time. "The makers are wary about the spread and have suspended the shoot as a precautionary measure. While they are covering up the issue by blaming night curfew as the reason, the truth speaks otherwise. The next schedule of the film will commence only in May subject to the situation," the source reveals.

Directed by Parasuram Petla, Sarkaru Vaari Paata has Keerthy Suresh as the female lead. The makers have already completed a schedule in Dubai earlier this year. SS Thaman, who earlier scored music for Mahesh Babu-starrers like Dookudu, Businessman and Aagadu, is composing the soundtrack and background score for Sarkaru Vaari Paata.
