According to a report, the team of Priyanka Chopra and Text for You may be stuck in the UK for a few days, amid travel restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of a new strain of Covid-19.
Following a new, potentially more contagious strain of Kovid-19 in the UK, the government has banned travel. Reportedly, Priyanka Chopra, who was shooting for her Hollywood film Text for You in London, is trapped in the country.
Many parts of the UK have already been placed under Tier 4 lockdown – the highest level – as the new version of the virus has a higher transmission capacity. While Priyanka and the team were originally scheduled to shoot by January, it is being said that the production team is trying to arrange for everyone to return to the US as soon as possible.
“Manufacturers have stopped production at the moment. Their top priority is to ensure the safe return of the cast and crew. Special permissions are being sought to travel back to the US, but the process may be longer than usual, as lockdown rules have become stricter than ever. It is possible that Priyanka and the rest of the unit will have to stay in the UK for some time,”.
Earlier this month, Nick Jonas shot for a cameo in Text for You, featuring Priyanka and Sam Hugon in lead roles. Celine Dion, Russell Tovey, and Omid Jalili will also star in the film, a remake of the German film SMS Fierce Ditch, which is itself a cinematic adaptation of Sophie Kramer’s novel of the same name.
Directed by Jim Strawse, Text for You is about a young woman who is troubled by the death of her fiance in a car accident, who continues to send romantic messages to her old phone number even after two years. He develops a bond with the current owner of the number, a similar heartbroken person. Celine is said to play the role of a catalyst that brings them together.
