Taking into consideration of ongoing corona second wave Yash Raj Films has decided to vaccinate registered workers of Bollywood industry. According to report there are 30,000 registered workers in Bollywood industry.

As we all know Bollywood industry seemed to be worst hit due to corona pandemic, recently shooting of almost all Bollywood projects has come to halt it all happened when Maharashtra once again imposed lockdown in state.

According to report YRF is going to pay expenses for around 60,000 vaccines.

Recently Senior Vice President of YRF Mr Akshay Widhani wrote a letter adding “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. The Yash Chopra Foundation will bear all other costs too associated with vaccinating the workers such as raising awareness, transportation of workers & setting up of all the required infrastructure for the immunisation program. We hope our kind request is approved which will enable our members to be safe and also get them back to work at the earliest.”

We appreciate YRF decision towards covid-19 vaccination of Bollywood workers.
