Bollywood's Khiladi replied to Gautam's tweet and said that he was glad he could help in such a painful crisis referring to the rising infections and death toll due to COVID-19.

In terms of the pandemic, the GGF has been working to provide Relief Ration Kits, cooked meals, PPE kits, and N-95 masks and sanitization kits to the needy. In the light of the current oxygen crisis and rising COVID-19 cases, they will be helping those in need to pay for their treatment.

On the work front, Akshay Kumar's 'Sooryavanshi' theatrical release has been postponed by filmmaker Rohit Shetty. The film was first delayed last year due to the deadly novel coronavirus pandemic outbreak and looks like once again the virus has taken a toll on its release date.
