Bollywood Sultan aka actor Salman Khan has come forward to financially support 25,000 daily wage workers from the film industry as India battles the second wave.

The actor will be crediting Rs 1500 in the bank account of the industry workers who are suffering due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE) general secretary, Ashoke Dubey said to a media report that, “Salman Khan’s manager spoke to BN Tiwari (FWICE president) and asked us to send details of 25,000 workers from the federation. The star will be crediting Rs 1500 in each one’s bank account. He was helpful even last year when Covid first hit India, and he is back at it again.”

After last year’s nationwide lockdown, which badly hit the film industry had started recovering in December.

The daily wage workers also started getting work by February but the second wave of Covid-19 made things worse yet again.

Recently, Salman also distributed the refreshments and meals to the frontline workers like medical and police personnel, BMC workers, and cleaners in Mumbai.

In a move to help the country, which is battling with the second wave of the virus, the actor also declared that a portion of the revenue generated by his upcoming film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai will go towards Covid-19 relief work.

India is currently in the middle of the second wave of Covid-19. The country had 4.14 lakh new Covid-19 cases on Friday.
