Amritsar, June 15

Four theatre artistes from the city have come together to keep up the awareness momentum for Covid as restriction are relaxed. Members of the Radiance Manch, a theatre group that has been engaged in creating content for awareness on social issues, has now made a short film on the impact of Covid and the health safety measures required.

Directed and produced by Gurinder Singh, a noted theatre director, the cast includes actor Arvinder Bhatti and Amar Sher Singh. The poster of the film was released by DC Gurpreet Khaira, which has been shot and complied within a week and on minimal budget.

Gurinder and Arvinder Bhatti had earlier made creative content for Swachh Bharat awareness and Bhatti is also the district brand ambassador for Swachh Bharat. “To beat the seriousness around any social message and to break the monotonous tone and repetition, we decided to come up with this creative short film that is essentially a guide to health safety practices to be followed. People are exhausted due to lockdown and it can be seen that post-relaxations, many have again crowded public places. We can successfully reach masses and spread the message on following guidelines through such films,” said Gurinder. Arvinder Bhatti, who had been actively supporting Covid relief efforts, said: “One has to consider that after relaxations, people might get complacent and not exercise caution. Our film is a few minutes long and at this time, such content can be used to remind people about significance of precautions. We are making all out efforts to ensure that it reaches maximum number of people and the purpose is served.”
