Fight to the finish

In May, mid-day had reported that Salman Khan would kick off Sikandar’s shoot in Mumbai in June (Salman to serve some stunts, May 23). Sure enough, the superstar faced the camera for A R Murugadoss’ action fare at the Chitrakoot Grounds in Andheri last week. The cast and crew are set to shoot a major action sequence at Taj Lands End in Bandra today, after which it will be a wrap on the first schedule. When is the next leg? Not before August, we hear.

A source tells us, “At the Chitrakoot Grounds, Salman shot a crucial action sequence with Prateik Babbar involving a plane. For the scene, the exterior of a plane was specially created. On Monday, the team will film at Taj Lands End where they will complete the action set-piece, after which there will be a break for a month-and-a-half.”

During those 45 days, the production design team will be hard at work as they build an elaborate set at the SRPF Ground in Goregaon. The source adds, “Murugadoss’ team has planned the schedule such that through the rains, the set will be constructed. Finally, in mid-August, the team will regroup to shoot some action scenes and crowd-heavy sequences at the location. It will be a straight 40-day schedule.” Slated for an Eid 2025 release, Sikandar also stars Rashmika Mandanna.

Mumbai: BMC has filed an FIR against actors Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan and his son Nirvaan for flouting the mandatory hotel quarantine rule for international flyers.

BMC officials said on Monday they learned that the Khans had violated hotel quarantine rules and misled government officials. They checked the details with Sohail Khan as well as the hotel before filing a police complaint against them. The hotel management told the officials that the three had not checked in for quarantine.

Civic officials visited Sohail’s residence on Nargis Dutt Road in Khar (West) on Monday and he told them about his arrival along with his brother and son. Sohail reportedly told officials that they had all tested negative for the virus, so decided to go home directly.

BMC officials said they have taken up the issue seriously as such instances can increase the spread of the Coronavirus.

The assistant municipal commissioner of H-West Ward wrote to the police seeking action against the three. Thereafter, police recorded a BMC health officer’s statement to register the FIR. The health officer is a complainant in the case.

Officials said they will inquire with family members and friends of the three to find out if any of them have Coronavirus symptoms. Incidentally, Sohail’s brother, actor Salman Khan, celebrated his birthday on December 27.

After the outbreak of the UK strain, from December 22, the government had made it compulsory for people arriving from or via Europe, the Gulf or South African countries to undergo seven days of mandatory quarantine at a hotel or a BMC centre. They can be discharged from these facilities after seven days once they test negative for the virus and need to home-quarantine themselves for seven more days thereafter.

The Khar police have registered a case against actors Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan and his son Nirvaan Khan after a BMC health official filed a complaint that the trio evaded institutional quarantine of seven days after returning from the UAE last month. Police said that on arriving in the city on December 25, they underwent COVID-19 tests at the airport and told the officials concerned that they were headed to hotel Taj Land's End for quarantine, but instead they went to their Bandra West residence.

The police will now take the actors to the Richardson and Cruddas COVID centre in Byculla for quarantine. According to the police, the case was registered at the Khar police station on Monday. The cops registered the case under section 188 of IPC read with section 3 of the Epidemic Diseases Act.

Complainant Dr Sanjay Dattatray Funde is a health official at H-West ward. He conducts surveys to carry out RT-PCR tests and send COVID positive patients to hospitals and quarantine centres. According to the FIR, on Monday Dr Funde found out that the actors had arrived in the city last month and were supposed to quarantine themselves at the Taj Land's End in Bandra but they didn't. After undergoing tests at the airport, the reports for which were negative, they went to their Galaxy apartment at Nargis Dutt road in Bandra West. As per the civic body's rules, whoever returns to the city from other countries are supposed to undergo institutional quarantine for seven days even if they test COVID negative. The FIR further mentions that when Dr Funde rushed to Galaxy apartment to check, he found the trio at their residence.

"A BMC health official approached us and we registered a case under section 188 of IPC read with section 3 of the Epidemic Diseases Act. They returned from Dubai on December 25 and were asked to quarantine themselves in a hotel, but they went home and violated the rules," said Chaitanya S, Mumbai police public relation officer.
