Uppi and Kiccha's Help
Many Sandalwood stars have extended help to the poor workers from the film industry. Real Star Upendra extended his helping hand not only people from Sandalwood, but also to auto drivers and daily-wage workers who have been hit by the lockdown. Many celebrities like B Saroja Devi and Pawan Wodeyar joined him to do their bit.
Sudeep has also done his bit to the cause by helping the needy, especially senior actors from Sandalwood.
Since March 2020, the film-related activities have almost come to a standstill due to Covid-19 crisis. Although the lockdown was lifted step-by-step towards the end of 2020, it came to effect last month again due to the coronavirus second wave.
Hence, the livelihood of daily-wage workers in film industry have been affected.
Coming back to Yash, his KGF: Chapter 2 was scheduled for release on 17 July, but it is likely to be delayed.
