Aditya Chopra has come forward to vaccinate daily workers of the entire Hindi film industry. YRF has urged the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Uddhav Thackeray, to allow the company to purchase COVID-19 vaccines and take care of all the expenses related to the immunisation programme for these workers.
YRF has sent a letter to the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) stating, “With the film industry going through an unprecedented time, there is an urgent need to restart at the earliest so that thousands of workers can start earning their livelihood again and protect their families. Yash Raj Films, through The Yash Chopra Foundation, would like to offer its support in this regard. We have sent a request to the Honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra to allocate and allow us to purchase COVID-19 vaccines for 30,000 registered workers, who are members of the film industry's federation in Mumbai at the earliest.”
