Meanwhile, fans agreed with Farhan's tweet. A netizen wrote, "Exactly my thoughts on the same piece. People are dying and all they can think of is money. Monsters are too less a word for them." Another Twitter user wrote, "There is also another type of monster on the prowl. The one selling medicines oxygen for more expensive than gold. Bought 1 vial of avastin for 1.2 lakhs and the price on google shows 28000. It's amazing what all can happen."
Farhan's tweet arrived after news reports of raids at several factories manufacturing and selling fake Remdesivir injections surfaced in the media.
On the other hand, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's production company Excel Entertainment recently made donations to several non-profit organizations which provide oxygen cylinders, food for quarantined patients and medication to everyone tackling the virus.
With regard to work, Farhan will next be seen in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's sports drama Toofaan which is slated to premiere on May 21 on Amazon Prime. Besides this, the actor will also be seen in a project with Marvel Studios.
