In the video, Srinivasa Rao said that he had been declared COVID positive on the 9th of September. He was very sportive about the incident and said “I asked my doctor that for 65 years I have been positive in everything, you are saying that I am positive now? I have never been negative.”
He further added saying “Despite being confined to my living space, I’ve been reading books and working on a few scripts. This global pandemic is a very serious thing and one has to be very careful in dealing with it. Face masks and social distancing norms should be a must. Even after following all the safety precautions, the virus has attacked me in an ingenious way and I still can’t figure out how it happened.”
“From the past few days, several media personnel have been approaching me through phone calls, e-mails and messages for doing special stories on my birthday. I wasn’t able to attend them as I got contracted with COVID-19 on September 9. The CT scan results showed that the symptoms are very mild and home quarantine would be sufficient. Thereby, I wanted to inform everyone that I am fine and healthy,” signed off Singeetam Srinivasa Rao.
On the work front, Srinivasa Rao last directed the 2013 movie ‘Welcome Obama’. He is also likely to don the director’s hat after seven years once again. Watch this space for more updates.
