PRIYADARSHAN, THE DIRECTOR, WAS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID-19.


Following a slew of celebrities, including some well-known Bollywood names, testing positive for the coronavirus, film director Priyadarshan has now been confirmed to be afflicted. According to sources, Priyadarshan was hospitalised to Apollo Hospital in Chennai after testing positive with COVID-19. Although there is little information on the director's status, reports indicate that he is now stable and recovering.

Priyadarshan, who directed some of Bollywood's most memorable films such as Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Hera Pheri, Hungama, and others, has returned to the industry after an eight-year absence. After the failure of his 2013 action-drama Rangrezz at the box office, he took a pause before releasing the second instalment of the Hungama franchise in 2021.

With his career on the rise, the director recently released Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea, one of his most ambitious productions. Mohanlal, Sunil Shetty, and Keerthy Suresh, among others, star in the 2021 action-drama film, which won a national award. In March of last year, it won the National Award for Best Feature Film at the 67th National Film Awards.

On December 2, the film was released in theatres, and it was later made accessible on Amazon Prime. Priyadarshan described the effort he took into creating Marakkar in an interview with the Indian Express. He even stated that the picture was ready to be released in just 102 days, but because to the continued pandemic, he had to wait more than two years. He had added, "It was such a relief when I watched it on the big screen."
