Production house backing Varun Dhawan's ‘Coolie No 1’, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bell Bottom’ to maintain ‘highest levels of safety’ on sets once lockdown is lifted

As the nation gets ready to bring the economy back on track with several lockdown restrictions soon beginning to ease out, Bollywood production houses also seem to be prepping up to get the cameras rolling. According to the latest statement released by Pooja Entertainment, the production house backing Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan’s ‘Coolie No 1’ and ‘Bell Bottom’ starring Akshay Kumar in the lead, the team is reportedly going all out to make sure the “highest levels of safety and health standards in all filmmaking processes” are maintained once the lockdown is lifted.
The statement further goes on to assure that “All the guidelines stipulated by the government and health agencies will be followed whenever resuming work is permitted. Every department will follow all guidelines of sanitization and social distancing.”

Producer Jackky Bhagnani says, “If there is one thing the lockdown has taught us it is to value human life and our health. Nothing comes before that. Every person on the set will be looked after and given the same attention. We are also mulling closed door studios for those of our films that will go on the floors immediately. While it is available abroad, we need to see if the same can be replicated in India."
Some of the ground rules include using larger tents with portable ACs for shooting, limiting people on the sets, sanitizing all common areas, making masks and gloves compulsory for all staff, continuously disinfecting equipment, medical assistance on the sets at all times among other things, the statement read.

While the Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan-starrer is said to be complete and ready for its theatrical release; the makers are eager to commence work on the Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Bell Bottom’.
