Director Prem Soni tests positive for coronavirus, quarantined at home

Prem Soni said he is currently under home quarantine and doing fine.

Bollywood director Prem Soni, known for films like Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and Ishkq in Paris, on Saturday said he has tested positive for coronavirus and is currently under home quarantine.

The director confirmed about his COVID-19 diagnosis to indianexpress.com. “Yes I have tested positive and I have isolated myself at home. Taking all precautions as required and being as responsible as I can to avoid spreading it,” Soni said.

On the work front, the director is gearing up for his comeback to the movies after a gap of eight years. Soni’s next is Laila Majnu, being produced by choreographer-filmmaker Remo D’Souza and his wife Lizelle. Laila Majnu stars Iulia Vantur and Shashank Vyas in pivotal roles. Recently, Prem Soni had taken to Instagram to thank Remo for coming on board for the film.

Extremely grateful & very happy to have @remodsouza sir & dear @lizelleremodsouza to be a part of our film @lailamanju and come on board as producers. I am extremely lucky to have a wonderful human being like him to support and be a part of this story.
