The actor also reportedly revealed during an interview with a news portal that the makers have chalked out a plan to ensure the safety of the cast and crew amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As per the latest reports, besides medical-grade masks and face shields, the production house will also make it mandatory for the cast and crew to wear a wristwatch that will constantly monitor their oxygen levels, body temperature, blood pressure, stress levels, and pulse.

Precautionary measures to be adopted by BellBottom team

As per reports, a centralized dashboard will record the parameters of the entire unit and keep a check for any changes in readings. Jackky Bhagnani who is bankrolling the project felt the need to keep a track of everyone’s health on the sets. This is the reason why a lot of emphases has been given to safety precautions.

It's a challenge but it makes 'Bellbottom' even more special for all of us," Bhagnani said in the PTI report.
