Ajay Devgn made headlines last week after turning a Dadar marriage hall into a Covid treatment centre with ICU, Oxygen, and Ventilator facilities. The facility had 20 beds, and the actor was praised by all for his philanthropic gesture in such difficult times, making him a real-life hero. 


Anand Pandit, his Thank God and Big Bull maker, had carried out the entire operation. This was Ajay Devgn's concept, according to the producer. “The medical centre is now overburdened. As a result, we decided to do something unique and give back to society,” Anand Pandit explains.


He goes on to say that after Dadar, they intend to open two more Covid centres in Juhu and Borivali. “We've converted a school into a Covid centre, and a 25-bed Covid facility in Juhu will be operational next week,” says the company. Although there will be no ICU in the building, it will be fitted with oxygen. We're also trying to enlist the support of Amitabh Bachchan sir, who is always enthusiastic about any noble cause,” Anand added.



Basically, the idea is to have 75 beds in different parts of Mumbai, so that it helps the people in neighbourhood. The treatment there will be completely funded by us……anand pandit

When asked about the Borivali centre, he said that it is still under construction and that the facility would have about 25 beds. “The basic concept is to provide 75 beds in various parts of Mumbai to assist people in the neighbourhood. We would cover the whole cost of the care there. To move this project forward, we are enlisting the assistance of doctors from different hospitals as well as other experts.” 


Apart from the makeshift clinics, Pandit and his team assist other non-governmental organisations in obtaining oxygen concentrators and beds. “We need standard items for the COVID facility, which we are obtaining from registered vendors. We're looking for specialist assistance as well as advice from local doctors,” he concludes.

Ajay and Anand are both working on upcoming projects at the moment. The Big Bull, Ajay's production, has already released on OTT release. The film, which stars Abhishek Bachchan and is based on the 1992 securities fraud, stars Abhishek Bachchan. It is said to be a loose account of stockbroker Harshad Mehta's life and his involvement in financial crimes between 1980 and 1990.
