Other crew members on the set also expressed gratitude towards the actor for adding a line of income for them amid the pandemic.

The portal reported that there were labourers from UP, Bihar, and MP who were grateful to be back at work. Meals in sealed containers were delivered for each crew member from Taj Lands End. PPE kits, facemasks, and hand sanitizers were also available on the sets. 

Meanwhile, the actor is set to resume the shoot for his next, Atrangi Re, in October. Kumar will return to shoot alongside Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush.
