Bollywood actor and BJP MP from Gurdaspur Sunny Deol has tested positive for COVID-19, the Himachal Pradesh health secretary said on Tuesday.
Deol has been staying in the Kullu district for some days, Health Secretary Amitabh Awasthi said.
The health secretary told the Press Trust of India that according to information received from the district chief medical officer, the MP and his friends were planning to leave for Mumbai, but his COVID-19 test result came out positive on Tuesday.
The 64-year-old Bollywood actor had undergone a shoulder surgery in Mumbai and was recuperating at a farmhouse near Manali in Kullu district.
Deol on Monday announced he is set to collaborate with his son, actor Karan Deol for the sequel of Apne, which will also feature his father, veteran star Dharmendra, and actor-brother Bobby Deol.
The film, which was officially announced by Dharmendra on Sunday, will have a Diwali 2021 theatrical release.
