India's four-hour concert to raise funds for the battle against coronavirus will see dozens of international and Bollywood starts participate, including rock legend Mick Jagger and Hollywood's Will Smith. Some of the top domestic names include Virat Kohli, Priyanka Chopra, and Shah Rukh Khan. The concert has been organised by Bollywood filmmakers Karan Johar and Zoya Akhtar and will be live-streamed by Facebook.
The show aims to raise millions of dollars for over 100 groups providing food and other essential services during the crisis. Organisers said the money was needed “for those who have no work and no home and do not know where their next meal is coming from.” India has been under lockdown since March 25, and is set to last until at least May 17.
The shutdown has especially affected millions of migrant workers stranded with little food or money.
