"This time I was going all the way to Perth. So I decided to come back by road. I transported my car there in a truck and planned to travel from Perth to Sydney by car," he tells SBS Hindi.

He made some special preparations for this trip, he says.

"The most important was the selection of the route at this time of the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the closure of the borders of some states, I had to change the route.

"I called the NSW service from Perth, who guided me on how to travel to Sydney from Perth by making some changes to my route," he says.

"Not only this, but I also planned my accommodation for two nights during this journey and made arrangements for phone connections of different companies for navigation," he says.

Although Sudeep did not face any problem in his journey, he advises that if you do not trust your vehicle, it is advisable to take a premium package of roadside assistance for a long journey.
