Tested negative on the Antigen test today. 🙂 Will still be continuing to isolate for one more week to be doubly sure. Once again, thanks to everyone who reached out and expressed care and concern. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/SMhKZy2Qny

Last week, after testing positive for the virus, the actor wrote on his social media, “I’ve been shooting for Dijo Jose Anthony’s “Jana Gana Mana” since the 7th of October. We had strict protocols in place with regards to Covid regulations and associated safety measures. As is the norm, all involved in the shoot were tested before the schedule started and after the last day of shoot in the courtroom set we had put up, tests were repeated. Unfortunately, the test results this time came back positive and I have gone into isolation. I’m asymptomatic and am doing fine now. All primary and secondary contacts have been advised to isolate and get tested. Hoping to recover soon and get back to work ASAP. Cheers and thanks for the love and concern.”

The shooting of Jana Gana Mana, which will see Prithviraj reuniting with his Driving License co-star Suraj Venjaramoodu, was taking place in Ernakulam.
Earlier in the year, when the lockdown was imposed in view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Prithviraj was shooting for Blessy’s Aadujeevitham in Jordan. The team was stranded in the location for two months before they could return to India. The actor had then announced that he tested negative for Covid-19.
Aadujeevitham is produced by KG Abraham under the banner KGA Films.
