Producer Anand Pandit on Friday welcomed actor Abhishek Bachchan, who recently recovered from the COVID-19, back on the sets of his biographical crime saga, The Big Bull, after nearly a six months' break. The super-paced thriller, loosely based on the life of Harshad Mehta and his financial crimes, had barely a few days of shoot remaining when the country went under the lockdown. During this, the Guru actor tested positive for the COVID-19 and spent nearly a month in hospital before complete recovery. Pandit said the aim is to finish the film's patchwork by mid-October. "Abhishek is a good-natured trooper and is going out of his way to accommodate us despite having battled COVID-19. He is thankfully totally healthy now and as enthusiastic as ever. It is a blessing to have him as our lead star."

The team is ensuring that everyone on the sets is totally safe amid COVID-19. "We are COVID proofing every inch of our sets. We have a team of COVID-19 watchdogs supervising everything and there is always at least one expert available to us at any given time," Pandit added.
