Meanwhile, Rajit Kapur, who is also a part of the courtroom drama, reportedly said that the sudden halt of Nail Polish had left him conflicted. The actor said that though they were working with a small unit, they were apprehensive because of the presence of 30 people on the sets.
He added that the producers had provided a separate vanity van to every artist and ensured that they practised social distancing. However, Kapur said that once they go to the floor, they would have to perform together. On the other hand, as the media outlet talked to Manav Kaul, the latter revealed about being COVID-19 positive and said that he had isolated himself at home.
