Salman Khan has started distributing food kits to the frontline workers in the city as a part of his food donation drive from last year. Last year, the actor’s food truck was seen distributing food packages amongst the underprivileged. Yuva Sena leader Rahul Kanal, who is coordinating with the superstar, reportedly told a news portal that Salman expressed his concern for the police officers, BMC staff and health workers on duty. He was worried as to how they would procure essentials since most shops are shut and the grocery stores are functioning in the stipulated four-hour window. Kanal revealed that within 24 hours of their conversation, their food trucks hit the road.

Talking about the kits being given to the frontline workers by Salman's food trucks, the leader said, "Our kits include tea, mineral water, a pack of biscuits, and snacks that include upma or poha or vada pav or pav bhaji. We have also started a helpline number on which the frontline workers can call, and we’ll travel to their area to serve them. It is Salman’s way of thanking them for their sustained efforts. This will go on till May 15." The leader added that in the past 2 days, Salman's food trucks have delivered food kits between Worli and Juhu and that they intend to extend the service to other places in Mumbai too in next 3 weeks.  Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman  is all set to release Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai in theatres and on OTT platforms and direct D2h release on May 13, 2021. The film also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff. The trailer of the film was released today.
