Away from the spotlight, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has been offering assistance to the city’s police personnel amid the current crisis. The producer began the initiative in March by reaching out to the patrolling cops and those at checkpoints in his Juhu Scheme neighbourhood. “When I saw the cops doing their duty and risking their lives by exposing themselves to the virus, it made me realise how tough it is for them. I began by providing breakfast and lunch food packets to them along with bottles of mineral water,” says the producer, who has backed Phir Hera Pheri (2006) and Welcome Back (2015), among other films.
In the following weeks, Nadiadwala extended his initiative to the Juhu, Versova, DN Nagar, Oshiwara and Amboli police stations. The food is prepared and distributed by his staff under his watchful eyes. “I want to ensure that quality food is being served to the frontline heroes.” In May, he tested positive for Covid-19 and was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital for a week. His ill-health did not put the brakes on his humanitarian cause. “My staff continued with the aid, even providing the cops with face shields.”
