MEMBERS of our film fraternity have been climbing over each other to provide for those feeling the pinch of the pandemic. From cash deposits to grain and supplies, actors and producers have been emptying their wallets to support daily wagers in a fix. But there’s one superstar who has not only refrained from making an offering, he has even turned away a couple of institutions cobbling together such charitable funds. His standard response to such requests is, ‘Get me work, and I’ll do it for free’, and the money raised can be considered my contribution. A pragmatic way of sliding away with dignity, without actually shelling a penny.
