Randeep Hooda gets tested for Covid ahead of film shoot in Haryana

Sharing a photo of him getting tested for Covid, he posted on Instagram: "Precaution is better than cure. Going to shoot so got Corona tested! Hope it all goes well #UnfairAndLovely #covid_19."

He is expected to begin shooting on October 29.

The film is a comic take on India's obsession with fair skin. Set in the backdrop of Haryana, the film chronicles the story of a dusky girl. Actress Ileana D'Cruz will be seen in the role of Lovely and will be paired with Randeep for the first time.

The film marks the directorial debut of Balwinder Singh Janjua, known for working as a screenplay writer on films like "Saand Ki Aankh" and "Mubarakan". It will be shot in various locations across India and is slated for a 2021 release.
