Noted filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki has tested positive for novel coronavirus infection, reports UNB.

The acclaimed filmmaker confirmed the matter sharing the news on his official Facebook profile.

“Positive! Even after following all safety measures strictly! So everyone please take care and keep your spirit high!” Farooki wrote Saturday noon.

Farooki’s wife and actress Nusrat Imrose Tisha said Farooki is currently staying at home and doing well.

The couple underwent Covid test on Friday.

On 26 July, Farooki took the first doze of vaccine, which he confirmed on social media through sharing pictures.

Starring Tasnia Farin and veteran actor Afzal Hossain in the lead roles alongside an ensemble cast featuring Mostofa Monwar, Hasan Masud, Partha Barua, Iresh Zaker and Mamunur Rashid among others, the eight-episode series garnered highly positive reactions on social media platforms regarding the aesthetic of the content, based on contemporary social circumstances.
