Rai was shooting for his next directorial, Atrangi Re, with Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush. The shoot of the film, announced earlier this year, was halted when the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced. The shoot was resumed in October in Madurai, and Sara had called the experience “strange”.
Talking about resuming shoot, Sara had said, “I was shooting for the second schedule of Atrangi Re. I’m now sitting in a room where people are wearing masks, suits and gloves. It’s a little strange. It was the same on set, with my director in a mask and gloves. It was different. But the passion and excitement with which everybody in the film fraternity comes to set with has not changed. The enthusiasm which binds us all is still there. So it really felt like I never left.”
