Several pictures and videos from the ad-shoot have been doing the rounds on the Internet in which Akshay, Balki, and the team are seen wearing masks. There were about 20 people present at the location.

Akshay Kumar and filmmaker R Balki on Monday shot for an advertisement campaign regarding the "post lockdown responsibilities" at Kamalistan studio while taking necessary precautions.

Balki said the advertisement was for the Health Ministry and the team took all the necessary precautions, including wearing masks and working with minimal crew.

"This is an ad for the health ministry featuring Akshay Kumar about the post lockdown responsibilities of each one of us. We need to get back to work but ensure our safety and those of others. So at our shoot we did the same."

"Like getting back to work with social distancing, sanitized outdoor set, disinfectant screen, masks. We got used to it in a few minutes. There were the minimal crew and very strict protocols," Balki told PTI.
