Achchamundu! Achchamundu filmmaker Arunachalam Vaidyanathan has tested positive for the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Sharing the unfortunate news Arunachalam Vaidyanathan posted on Twitter, "I have a new visitor at home and I think his name is Omicron. He has been kind and not demanding much as of now. People who stayed in touch with me thru WhatsApp, Messenger and other social media....Relax.. God bless everyone."

Divulging further details on his encounter with the virus, he shared, "I went to Khumb Mela, Did shoot for 28 days with 160 ppl on sets....went to Varanasi and Bodh Gaya....but once I came to US, I tested positive….Covid is like a masala film - No logic!" Recently, actor and comedian Vadivelu also tested positive for COVID-19.

Bankrolled by Universe Creations and Tridents Arts, Shot Bhoot 3 stars Venkat Prabhu, Sneha and Yogi Babu in lead roles. Sneha will be seen playing a strict, authoritative mother in the film.
