In July this year, the actor had tested positive for Covid-19 and had taken to Twitter to make the announcement. After spending more than 20 days in Mumbai’s Nanavati hospital, he had tested negative and returned home in early August. Since then, he had stayed home, only to step into his garden to plant saplings on his mother, Teji Bachchan’s birth anniversary.

Amitabh has a number of films in various stages of post production, shooting or set for release. These include Ayan Mukherji’s Brahmastra with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Nagraj Manjule’s Jhund and Chehre with Emraan Hashmi. During the lockdown, the veteran saw the release of Shoojit Sircar’s Gulabo Sitabo, which also starred Ayushmann Khurrana.
