As
the
coronavirus
continues
to
spread
across
the
globe,
Bollywood
celebrities
are
spreading
awareness
about
this
pandemic
on
social
media.
Varun
Dhawan
is
the
latest
B-town
actor
who
has
shared
his
thoughts
on
this
deadly
outbreak.
The
Kalank
actor
took
to
his
Instagram
page
to
pen
a
thought-provoking
note
on
the
outbreak.
He
wrote,
"As
we
all
battle
this
virus.
I
think
it
is
time
we
realise
that
the
human
race
has
been
extremely
selfish.
It's
time
we
introspect.
We
share
this
planet
with
many
other
species.
Development
is
important
but
not
at
the
cost
of
killing
other
species.
We
will
overcome
this
but
we
must
realise
that
messing
with
Mother
Nature
comes
at
a
cost."
Earlier,
several
celebrities
like
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Salman
Khan,
Parineeti
Chopra,
Priyanka
Chopra
and
others
urged
their
fans
to
take
preventive
measures
against
this
deadly
virus.
Some
of
them
even
called
for
'Namaste'
instead
of
a
handshake,
to
greet
people.
Meanwhile,
Bollywood
has
already
started
taking
precautionary
steps
in
view
of
the
increasing
number
of
cases
in
the
country.
Reportedly,
some
of
the
international
shooting
schedules
have
been
cancelled
and
the
filmmakers
are
upping
hygiene
levels
by
making
sure
their
crew
is
equipped
with
masks
and
sanitisers.
Lately,
some
of
the
celebrities
have
started
wearing
masks
every
time
they
step
out.
In
the
wake
of
the
coronavirus
outbreak,
last
evening,
the
makers
of
Sooryavanshi
announced
that
they
have
pushed
the
film's
release
date
indefinitely.
The
Rohit
Shetty-directorial
was
supposed
to
release
on
March
24,
2020.
The
makers
issued
an
official
statement
that
read,
"Sooryavanshi
is
an
experience
that
we
have
created
for
you
with
over
a
year
of
dedication
and
hard
work,
and
the
response
we
received
for
its
trailer
was
nothing
less
than
electrifying
and
made
it
clear
that
this
film
truly
belongs
to
its
audience...
We
have
been
as
excited
as
you
are
to
present
the
film
to
you
and
your
family,
but
due
to
the
recent
outburst
of
the
COVID
-
19
(Coronavirus),
we,
the
makers,
have
decided
to
postpone
the
release
of
your
film
Sooryavanshi,
keeping
in
mind
the
health
and
safety
of
our
beloved
audience...
And
therefore,
Sooryavanshi
will
be
back
for
you
just
when
the
time
is
right...
After
all,
safety
comes
first...
Until
then,
keep
the
excitement
alive,
take
good
care
of
yourself
and
stay
strong...
We
shall
pull
through
this...
-Team
SOORYAVANSHI."
