Actor-producer Ajay Devgn organised a vaccination camp in Mumbai for workers in the entertainment industry and media professionals. The news was confirmed by trade analyst Taran Adarsh on his Twitter handle. He wrote, “AJAY DEVGN ORGANISES VACCINATION CAMP... #AjayDevgn's NY Foundation conducted a vaccination camp on 11 June 2021 in #Mumbai... Those vaccinated included workers associated with the entertainment industry and media professionals.”
The actor had joined hands with BMC and Hinduja Hospital in April, to set up ICUs and provide emergency medical facilities to people affected by Covid-19 in Mumbai. Several other celebrities have come forward during these tough times to provide services to the less fortunate. Earlier, filmmakers Rajkumar Hirani, Karan Johar, and producer Mahaveer Jain had joined hands to start a free-of-cost vaccine drive for the workers of the entertainment industry.
Bollywood's Yash Raj Films (YRF) studios too organised a Covid vaccination drive, aiming to inoculate around 4,000 workers in the first phase. The group aims to vaccinate a total of 30,000 registered members of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE). Others to hold such drives include producer Sajid Nadiadwala whose vaccination campaign inoculated 500 employees and their families of his company Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
The Producers Guild of India (PGI) also began their vaccination drive for its members and associated production crews, while the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) and Screenwriters Association (SWA) have also announced that they will be organising free vaccination drives for their staff members.
