Only days after Varun Dhawan and Neetu Kapoor battled COVID-19 and resumed work on Jug Jugg Jeeyo, another Bollywood actor has fallen prey to the virus. On Tuesday afternoon, Rakul Preet Singh took to Twitter to announce that she had tested positive. She had flown down to Hyderabad last week to begin work on Ajay Devgn's directorial vehicle, Mayday.

A source reveals that Singh tested positive on Saturday, and immediately alerted those she had come in contact with. "Rakul spent most part of last week doing rehearsals at her Jubilee Hills home, and had not reported to the set. She was to begin shooting this week. Thankfully, her interaction with Ajay and the remaining crew had been minimal. Nevertheless, Ajay had himself and all those in contact with her immediately tested," says the source. It is learnt that the actor-director halted the shoot on Saturday, not wanting to assemble the cast and crew until they had all been given a clean chit.
