Producers Karan Johar, Rajkumar Hirani And Mahaveer Jain To Vaccinate The Entertainment Industry
Trending NewsKaran Johar, Rajkumar Hirani are among the several producers who have to take up vaccination drives to innoculate entertainment industry workers.
As the second wave of Covid-19 sees a decline and many states slowly begin unlocking, the film industry too is back on its feet and several new movies have already started shoot or come up with schedules for them. In Mumbai, there was a shooting ban for a few months and now the entertainment industry is back on its feet. Producers Karan Johar, Rajkumar Hirani And Mahaveer Jain have now come up with a vaccination drive free of cost and want to vaccinate a huge number of entertainment workers. They will be tying up with the Art of Living foundation to go on with this vaccination drive.
Similarly, Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Chopra Films is also holding a vaccination drive to inoculate around 3500-4000 workers in its first phase. Producer Bhushan Kumar has also taken up the duty of vaccinating entertainment workers. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala also vaccinated the cast and crew of the several films that are working under his banner.
Karan Johar, Rajkumar Hirani and Mahaveer Jain have decided to come together to take up the responsibility of vaccinating each film industry employee that is having difficulty in getting vaccinated. Many celebrities like Sonu Sood, Kajol, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna among others have come in support of this cause as well. Karan Johar was also part of an online fundraiser earlier last month and has also been sharing some helpful information on the same.
Many filmmakers and producers are hoping that this time around all their films are able to find theatrical releases. After the pandemic hit the country in 2020, theatres had been shut for several months and opened for a few months at half capacity only to be shut again due to the second wave. Now as the second wave is reaching a low, the entertainment industry is hopeful to make a strong comeback and they are starting this journey by first having every member of the fraternity vaccinated.
