Explaining the current situation with the coronavirus, he said that he wants to avoid any ‘touching’ activity to happen, which flouts the norm of social distancing. The actors will wear masks on-set and only remove it for the scene take. The whole cast and crew will have to wear masks. Furthermore explaining the post coronavirus lockdown filming situation, he explained all the people will sit or stay in the rooms or vans allocated to them and will not come out if they don’t have a scene to shoot. He also called back on the times flowers were used to kiss instead of actors doing it onscreen. He said they might have to resort to this in a witty way.
