Mrunal Thakur tests positive for Covid-19

Actor Mrunal Thakur has tested positive for Covid-19, a day after the release of her upcoming film ‘Jersey’ was postponed. She made the announcement on her social media on Saturday, adding that she had isolated herself as per protocol. She shared a note on her Instagram story where she informed her followers that she had tested positive.
Mrunal wrote, “I have tested positive for Covid-19. As of today, I have mild symptoms, but I’m feeling ok and have isolated myself. I am following the protocol given by my doctor and health professionals.” The actor also advised those who have been in contact with her recently to get themselves tested. Thakur said, “If you have been in contact with me, request you to please get tested immediately. Stay safe everyone.”
Mrunal will be seen opposite Shahid Kapoor in the sports drama ‘Jersey’ which was to release on December 31. However, days before the film’s release, the makers decided to postpone it given the rise of Covid cases nationwide as well as restrictions on theatres and night curfews in various parts of the country.
The makers said, “In view of the current circumstances and new Covid-19 guidelines we have decided to postpone the theatrical release of our film Jersey.” Directed by Gowtam Tinnauri, the movie is a remake of Nani-starrer Telugu film of the same name.
A new release date for the film hasn’t been announced yet, however, any rumours that the film would instead get a direct OTT release have been dismissed.
