Akshay Kumar talks about shooting during the lockdown

Ever since the lockdown came into place, Akshay Kumar has been pretty active on social media urging people to undertake the necessary precautions as we continue our battle with the coronavirus. The actor also shot for a special awareness film further encouraging people to take their safety seriously

. 

Recently, the actor attended a webinar with Nashik Police commissioner, Vishwas Nangare Patil where he expressed his gratitude for all the work the police force has done for the safety of citizens. He commented, “Today, when there is a war against the coronavirus, the police are at the forefront. Their commitment, selfless service and courage are commendable. Now, as the lockdown has started easing, the police force is working round the clock, so that our lives can slowly and smoothly unlock.” Akshay also spoke about the experience of shooting during the pandemic. He shared, “I was excited to face the camera after so many days. I also felt a little weird because there were less than half the normal number of crew members on the set. It felt different to meet and greet people maintaining distance because normally we hug and shake hands. I couldn’t hug Balki sir. Everything was being sanitised all the time. We had to check everybody’s body temperature and wear a mask at all times. The assistant would come to explain a scene, that too keeping distance and wearing a mask. A couple of them also wore face-shields. It felt like we were preparing to go to war. We will be going back to work slowly, but following all the rules and regulations to stay safe. We have to get back to work. We can’t be scared. If we are scared, we will lose our battle. We have to go ahead and we have to fight it.”

Well, let’s hope things get back to normal soon.
