Rajat Barmecha is gearing up for the shoot of the second season of Hey Prabhu. But as work comes calling, the actor has decided to check into a Juhu hotel to avoid the risk of exposing his family to the virus. "My 90-year-old grandfather is living with us. Keeping the risks in mind, I had avoided shooting and going out in the past few months. But now that I have to get back to work, I will move into a hotel so that my family is safe," reveals Barmecha, who burst on the scene with Udaan.

Beginning tomorrow, the actor has a 40-day shoot lined up of the MX Player series. However, a start-to-finish schedule will not be possible due to the unavailability of certain locations.

He agrees that staying in character while being mindful of the on-set regulations will be a novel experience. "I won't go back home before October. After the shoot is wrapped up, I will self-quarantine in the hotel for 14 days."
