And, I also learnt that Andhra Pradesh government and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy have been taking precautionary measures to curb the same. Hope they continue to take the necessary actions according to the situations,” Chiranjeevi said in a statement.

“Cinema shootings involve the technical crew in big numbers at any given point. Concerning their health care, I thought to postpone the shoot of my ongoing project for 10 to 15 days. When I shared my thoughts with my film’s director Koratala Siva for the same, he immediately agreed to my proposal. So, despite having the financial burden upon us, I would like to urge the film fraternity to take part in the preventive measures to curb the Coronavirus outbreak, ” he further added in the statement.
