After contributing to several coronavirus charities and funds (including Rs 25 crore to PM-Cares fund), the actor has now offered financial help to Mumbai's iconic cinema hall, which is suffering big time due to the lockdown.
"Three days ago, I got a call from Akshayji. He offered to provide financial assistance if the scenario continues. It was kind of him to offer help, but we should find a way to sustain ourselves. We have managed to collect enough funds to pay the salaries for this month, but the theatre shutdown will have long-term ramifications. Our focus is to ensure we don't trim staff or resort to pay cuts," says Desai to Mid-Day. Amid Covid 19 Lockdown Akshay Kumar Reportedly Offers Financial Aid To Mumbai’s Iconic Gaiety-Galaxy Theatre!
