Coronavirus pandemic: Akshay Kumar, Kamal Haasan, Ajay Devgn urge citizens to participate in Janta Curfew

Several stars from the Indian film industry, including Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Anil Kapoor have urged people to follow Janta Curfew on Sunday, as appealed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. (Click  here  to follow LIVE updates on coronavirus outbreak) The PM made a fervent appeal to all Indians to stay indoors as much as possible to avoid getting infected by the coronavirus and called for ‘‘Janta curfew’’ on 22 March from 7 am - 9 pm, saying no citizen, barring those in essential services, should get out of the house. While Akshay hailed the PM’s decision for social distancing, Kamal Haasan tweeted that he fully supported the move to stay indoors on 22 March. Check out their posts

Well done @FeverFMOfficial on your #RJCurfew campaign. We all must follow #JanataCurfew in these tough times. May we all sail through. Stay safe, stay blessed.

I stand in full solidarity with our Prime Minister’s call for #JantaCurfew.

In this extraordinary situation, we have to take extraordinary measures.

It’s a disaster that has befallen on us and by staying united and indoors, we can Stay Safe. (1/2)
