Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran on Tuesday revealed that he had tested positive for Covid-19. He took to Twitter and wrote, "Hello everyone, I have been shooting for Dijo Jose Anthony's Jana Gana Mana since October 7. We had strict protocols in place with regards to Covid regulations and associated safety measures. As is the norm, all involved in the shoot were tested before the schedule started and after the last day of shoot in the courtroom set we had put up, tests were repeated. Unfortunately, the test results this time came back positive and I have gone into isolation."
He added, "I am asymptomatic and am doing fine now. All primary and secondary contacts have been advised to isolate and get tested. Hoping to recover soon and get back to work ASAP. Cheers and thanks for the love and concern."

Along with him, the director of the film Dijo Jose Antony also has tested positive.
The actor announced his new project, Vaariyamkunnan on social media recently. He wrote, "He stood up against an empire that ruled a quarter of the world. Etched out his own country with an army that waged a never before war against the British. Though history was burned and buried, the legend lived on! The legend of a leader, a soldier, a patriot. A film on the man who became the face of the 1921 Malabar revolution. #Vaariyamkunnan. Filming begins in 2021. On the 100th anniversary."
The actor has done a period film, Urumi before. It released in 2011 and was a huge critical success. It was set in the 16th century when the Portuguese had established their reign on the Malabar Coast. People loved his rousing performance. Vaariyamkunnan is going to be directed by Aashiq Abu.
We wish the actor a speedy recovery.
