Given the recent outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), theatres across the globe have been closed, and shoot of films, television serials and advertisements are on hold as well. The daily wage workers in Tollywood and other film industries are left with no work, which means zero earning for them for last few days.
Ironically, no Telugu star is showing humanity and nobody is coming forward to help the daily workers in the industry, though they are well aware of the tough situations of the daily wage earners.
Although shut down is announced till March 31st, it is expected to extend for another two weeks or so. Thus, they would be in never seen before financial crunch.
On the other hand, Tamil stars are donating for the wellbeing of daily wage workers of South Indian film industry. Rajinikanth donated 50 lakhs, while Vijay Sethupathi has donated 10 lakhs for the welfare of FEFSI members. Suriya, Karthi, Sivakarthikeyan and few others contributed for the cause.
Hero Nithin donated Rs 10 lakh each to the Chief Ministr relief fund of AP and TS. Nonetheless, no other star offered any donations to the workers of Tollywood or for the relief funds of state governments.
Hope, they learn from Tamil heroes and come forward in donating for the welfare of daily workers in the industry.
