India is in the third phase of its nationwide vaccination drive. While the Centre and states have been putting in efforts to inoculate all the people at the earlies, private entities are also free to procure vaccination doses from the manufacturer and vaccinate their employees.
Amid this, Hindi film industry, one of the worst hit sectors by the pandemic, too, has taken a step forward and has started the operations by vaccinating their units. While Maharashtra is still under lockdown in the backdrop of prevailing coronavirus crisis, things are expected to open up in the month of June in a phased manner, as announced by chief minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Now, according to a Pinkvilla report, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has decided to vaccinate the crew of his productions - the Tiger Shroff fronted Heropanti 2 with Tara Sutaria, Akshay Kumar starrer Bachchan Pandey co-starring Kriti Sanon, Salman Khan’s Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali featuring Pooja Hegde as the female lead and Ahan Pandey’s launch pad, Tadap with Tara Sutaria. “Apart from the crew of his production ventures, the filmmaker is also looking after the vaccination of his office staff and their families. Around 500 employees and production crew are involved in this task. The vaccination ride will take place on Monday," it quoted a source as saying.
“Sajid is striving towards ensuring a safe shooting environment for everyone and the only way to take a stride in that direction is by organizing vaccination rides,” the source added.
