Top Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali contracts coronavirus

Celebs contracting Covid-19 was thought to be a phenomenon of 2020. But with cases rising in Maharashtra, the bad news is back. Earlier today, national media reports confirmed that Ranbir Kapoor, who hasn’t been keeping well for a couple of days, has tested positive.

And, hours later, it was reported that Sanjay Leela Bhansali, too, has tested positive. The star Bollywood director, known for movies such as ‘Devadas’, has isolated himself.

A national daily has reported that the ‘Padmaavat’ director had contracted the virus on the sets of Alia Bhatt-starrer ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’. The star Bollywood actress and others associated with the underworld drama may also have quarantined themselves in the wake of the director testing positive.

It may be noted that Alia is scheduled to can a special song with Ram Charan for ‘RRR’ later this week. This might now be put on hold pending test reports.
