Last
week,
Farhan
Akhtar
and
Sonu
Sood
had
expressed
concern
over
the
vaccine
pricing
difference
for
central
and
state
governments.
However,
netizens
trolled
the
actors
with
not-so-polite
comments
asking
them
to
do
research
and
giving
them
some
economics
lessons.
For
the
unversed,
the
world's
largest
vaccine
maker,
Serum
Institute
of
India
(SII)
announced
a
price
of
Rs
600
per
dose
for
vaccine
supplies
to
private
hospitals
and
Rs
400
per
dose
to
state
governments,
while
the
vaccine
will
be
available
to
the
central
government
for
Rs
150.
However,
a
similar
concern
was
also
expressed
by
state
government
authorities,
asking
SII
and
Bharat
Biotech
to
lower
the
price
of
COVID
vaccines.
Farhan
Akhtar
also
reacted
to
the
same
and
addressed
those
who
trolled
him
for
expressing
concern.
"Oh
look
my
dear
trolls.
Govt
asking
to
lower
price
of
vaccine
as
well.
Hope
you'll
swamp
their
TL
with
the
lectures
on
economics
you've
been
giving
me.
Until
then
mask
up,
stay
home
and
wash
your
mouths..
I
mean
hands," the
Toofaan
actor
tweeted
on
April
27.

However,
the
tweet
didn't
sit
well
with
all.
One
user
said,
"Now
it's
your
turn
to
speak
to
the
multiplex
owners
to
sell
popcorns
at
right
price.
And
obviously
setting
your
movie
tickets
to
zero." While
another
added,
"Weird
thing
from
Bollywood.
Like
in
their
business
the
popcorns
are
sold
off
for
300-400
in
multiplexes.
Never
then
they
asked
to
reduce.
Also
for
poor
it
was
free
at
govt
run
vaccination
centres."
On
the
work
front,
Farhan
is
awaiting
the
release
of
the
sports
drama
Toofaan.
Directed
by
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra,
the
film
also
features
Mrunal
Thakur,
Paresh
Rawal,
Supriya
Pathak
Kapur
and
Hussain
Dalal,
and
is
set
to
release
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
on
May
21,
2020.
