Aditya Chopra Shelves YRF 50 Celebration Budget for Covid 19 Aid
In yet another big revelation from the B Town, we see loads of buzz around the filmmaker and owner of Yash Raj Films – Aditya Chopra. He is now making news for shelving the idea of celebrating the YRF 50 in B Town after his production house has completed fifty years in the industry. He being the CEO of the company had plans to bring out a huge celebration since it completed the said time last year. But with the current grim situation, he called off the celebration.
In fact, the filmmaker has opened up a kitchen in his production house premises wherein he is preparing free food for people who have been working for him and the other production houses as daily wage workers in Goregaon area. Also, he is supplying food to quarantine centers in Andheri area. Also, the YRF has requested the CM Mr. Thackeray if they can purchase vaccine for their 30K workers and they claimed that they would be covering the entire cost of vaccines for the same.
While releasing the statement, they said the following: “YRF will not be celebrating its 50th year even if things return to normalcy later as Aditya Chopra has decided to divert this entire fund for COVID relief work. He is clear that the funds need to be used on an urgent basis to restart the industry first as it has been hit the hardest because of the virus. There was an extensive blueprint of celebrations planned around the world which would have become massive news but all that stands cancelled. Aditya Chopra only wants to concentrate towards helping the industry and the fraternity that has been a support system to YRF for the last 50 years too.”
