Vidyut Jammwal starrer ‘Sanak’ has a specialised sanitisation team working on the set!

With an alarming surge in Covid-19 cases across the country, film producers and production houses have become extra cautious to ensure safety of the entire cast and crew of their respective projects. Producer #VipulAmrutlalShah, who is looking forward to start shooting the last schedule of his highly-anticipated film ‘#Sanak’ in Goa this month, has ensured extra measures on the movie set. Starring #VidyutJammwal and debutant actress Rukmini Maitra, the movie also features Neha Dhupia in a special performance along with Chandan Roy Sanyal in a pivotal role. The poster of ‘Sanak’ launched at the beginning of this year, created a lot of buzz and garnered immense anticipation.

Talking about the precautionary measures being taken for the last schedule of ‘Sanak’, director Kanishk Verma informs, “We only have the Goa schedule left. There is a sudden surge in the (covid-19) cases and the whole country is going through this. To be very honest, we have been very strict from the beginning as far as santisation and covid precautions on the set are concerned. We never took it lightly, even when we started the principal photography of the movie in January. I think we have been lucky enough to not have a single case for three months and back-to-back shooting because we were quite strict with safety measures and responsible. We made sure that everybody on set maintained the social distancing protocol. Only the people absolutely needed for the shot were there on the set. At any given point, we didn’t have more than 10-15 people on the shooting floor. Everyone was sent to the different rooms and corners and were called in when needed. Though this affected the shoot time but everybody was very responsible and played their part well. Hence, we managed to finish the shoot in three months without any injury or covid cases. In fact, all equipment on set, cars and bikes of artists and crew members were also sanitised as soon as they arrived on set.”

Producer Vipul Shah adds, “We had a specialised sanitization team working on the set. There was a team of 8 people whose primary job was to ensure that the entire shooting location and set up was properly sanitized, everybody goes through the sanitization tunnel every 15-20 minutes, everybody was given sanitizer to clean their hands, temperatures were checked regularly, surprise checks were also done. We had also created different colour bands, like green bands were given to the ones who can access the shooting area and red bands for those who cannot. Some extra unit bases were also created and sanitised, so the people can split in small units and that’s how we functioned.”

Vipul has brought successful movies like the ‘Commando’ franchise, ‘Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty’, ‘Singh is Kinng’, ‘Force’ and many more. These films are still fresh in the minds of the audience even today where he has always produced content that ages well. With ‘Sanak’, we can expect another great story in the making. It needs to be seen what action-packed ace card is up Vipul’s sleeves this time around.

Presented by Zee Studios in association with Sunshine Pictures, ‘Sanak’ is a Vipul Amrutlal Shah production, being directed by Kanishk Verma.
