In April, Shetty was among the several celebrities from the film industry who came forward to help the daily wage workers amid the nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

He had donated Rs 51 lakh to FWICE in order to support the daily wage workers.

The filmmaker had also facilitated 11 hotels across the city for on-duty policemen to rest and have meals for 100 days.
