Sanjjanaa, who made her debut with the Telugu movie Soggadu in 2005, will next be seen in the Malayalam film Aaraattu in a supporting role. The action drama directed by B Unnikrishnan stars Mohanlal in the lead, and also features Shraddha Srinath, Ramachandra Raju, Nedumudi Venu, Siddique, Prabhakar, Vijayaraghavan, Saikumar, Indrans, Malavika Menon, among others.
Just on Saturday, Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who was appointed brand ambassador for Punjab’s COVID-19 vaccination drive by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh recently, announced via social media that he had tested positive for the virus. Tamil actor Atharva too took to social media to announce that he had contracted the virus.
Filmmakers were forced to halt production for the most part of 2020 due to the spread of the novel coronavirus and the nationwide lockdown. Once the lockdown restrictions were relaxed, filming resumed around November last year and is still in progress. However, many actors and celebrities have tested positive in the second wave of the virus, especially over the past couple of months.
