Megastar Chiranjeevi has said on Friday that cine workers will be given free ration funded by donors from the film industry. "Film shootings haven't resumed.  Going by the prevailing situation, we can't say when they will be kickstarted again.  As a result, cine workers have been penniless and are struggling to make ends meet.  Keeping this in mind, we at the Corona Crisis Charity (CCC) have decided to supply them with all essentials for the third time.  The distribution process is already in effect.  

Besides reaching out to them through the various film associations, this time, we are also distributing free ration to workers in the distribution sector," he said, adding that those who make their livelihood from pasting posters on walls will also get help this time.  "About10,000 needy people will receive essentials," Chiranjeevi said. He added that the situation will not last.  "This is a temporary thing.  We will all be back to work.  Till then, you all have to take care of your health for the sake of your family members," the actor added.  Chiru will be celebrating his birthday on Saturday (August 22), when the first look of his upcoming movie, Acharya, will be unveiled.
