“The team at Balaji will ensure that the vaccination drive is a convenient process for one and all abiding by all the required government protocols,” Zulfiqar Khan, Group COO, Balaji Telefilms said. The vaccination drive was held in association with Jaslok Hospital.

It has pledged to vaccinate 30,000 registered members of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE). Besides YRF, producer Sajid Nadiadwala also held a vaccination drive for over 500 employees and their families of his company Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Earlier this month, the Producers Guild of India (PGI), the association of Indian film, television and digital content producers, began their vaccination drive for its members and associated production crews. Indian Motion Picture Producers’’ Association (IMPPA) and Screenwriters Association (SWA) have also announced that they would be organising free vaccine drives for their members.
