Varun Dhawan, who had tested positive for COVID-19 while filming Jugg Jugg Jeeyo earlier this month, has resumed the film's shoot after recovering from the virus. On Friday evening, the actor shared a picture of himself and his co-star Kiara Advani from the sets of Jug Jugg Jeeyo and wrote: "And we're back, #jugjuggjeeyo with my praying partner Kiara."

Earlier on Friday, Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor (who had also contracted COVID-19), Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani were photographed at the Mumbai airport; they left for Chandigarh for the film's shoot.
