However, with the COVID 19 outbreak taking over the world, they did face trouble while shooting an important scene. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Goldie revealed, “There was one real hospital location, which we didn’t get because of the virus scare. So, we went to a set to shoot it.”

Furthermore, Goldie revealed that the team was supposed to complete the shoot by March 24, 2020. “Yes, we were supposed to get back on 24th of March, but we got news about the Janta curfew on 19th night, and then our team stood together and we shot continuously for two days and finished it on 21st morning,” he added.

Meanwhile, the teaser of REJCTX has opened to rave reviews from the audience. The teaser also evidently highlights how everyone will do and to know, what it takes to protect their secret. How love has no bounds and much more. While REJCTX season 2 stars Anisha Victor, Ahmed Masi Wali, Sumeet Vyas, Kubbra Sait in key roles, there has been a new addition in the cast as Esha Gupta will be seen playing the role of a cop in this season. The show will be premiered on May 14, 2020, on ZEE.5
