Bollywood
actors
Ajay
Devgn
and
Tiger
Shroff
have
come
forward
to
help
stuntmen
of
the
film
industry.
Ajay
Devgn,
who
has
already
donated
Rs
50
lakh
to
the
Federation
of
Western
India
Cine
Employees
(FWICE),
has
gone
ahead
and
helped
stuntmen
of
the
film
industry
now.
The
actor
has
transferred
Rs
5,000
each
to
about
350
fighters
of
the
Movie
Stunt
Artistes
Association.
It
may
be
recalled
that
Ajay
Devgn
is
the
son
of
Veeru
Devgan
who
was
a
very
senior
fight
master
in
Bollywood.
Tiger
Shroff,
who
also
is
known
for
his
acrobatics
and
stunts
and
has
done
high-voltage
action
in
his
films,
has
distributed
essential
rations
to
about
250
members
of
the
association.
But
new
guidelines
of
shooting
are
not
going
to
allow
action
scenes
in
the
first
phase
of
the
shooting
post
lockdown
and
thus,
stuntmen
will
have
to
wait
a
little
longer
before
they
start
getting
work.
Stuntmen
are
daily
wage
workers
and
will
find
it
tough
to
survive
unless
financial
help
is
handed
out
to
them
in
the
current
scenario.
A
stunt
artiste
normally
earns
Rs
4000
per
shift,
with
Rs
600
allowance.
With
action
scenes
put
on
hold
due
to
the
social
distancing
clause
in
the
new
shooting
guidelines,
it
is
not
going
to
be
easy
for
these
men
and
women
to
return
to
work.
We
all
know
that
actor
Akshay
Kumar,
who
has
been
the
torchbearer
for
the
film
industry,
has
been
paying
for
the
insurance
cover
of
all
616
members
of
the
Movie
Stunt
Artists
Association.
He
has
renewed
the
insurance
for
them
and
included
COVID-19
in
it.
