Maharashtra is one of the worst hit states of India by the Coronavirus COVID-19 and in an attempt to fight the same, the Producers Guild of India (PGI), has organized a vaccination camp in Mumbai tomorrow i.e. June 1, 2021.

Any personnel of the Indian film, TV and digital content production, who are currently members of the PGI are eligible to get vaccinated in this multi-day drive.

PGI's current president Siddharth Roy Kapur has stated that while the vaccination procurement was done by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment, the venue for the camp was generously offered by Mumbai's famous Mehboob Studios. PGI's official statement read,

"By now it is an established fact that mass vaccination is the only effective weapon in the long and deadly war against the Coronavirus that has ravaged the nation as also its entertainment industry. It is hoped that this camp shall contribute to the national mission of attaining universal vaccination and also facilitate safer shooting and content production.

 

An activity of such importance and magnitude cannot be carried out singlehandedly and we are extremely grateful for the support we have received to make this possible. In particular from our members Excel Entertainment who played a pivotal role in securing the vaccines and Mehboob Productions who very generously offered complimentary use of the spacious Mehboob Studios.

We are happy that we are able to provide this facility to our members, their employees and the cast and crew of their productions as we work to get the industry back on its feet again in the weeks ahead."
