Radhe Shyam team donates entire set property to fight Covid

At a time when the entire country is reeling under the impact of Covid’s second wave, Prabhas’ Radhe Shyam team took a unique step to counter the pandemic. The team has donated the set property which includes 50 custom-made beds, oxygen cylinders, PPEs, stretchers, and other medical equipment to a private hospital.

This equipment was used for a hospital setting in the scene in the film. And now with the hospitals all over facing acute shortage of equipment, this timely move will help many.

Since Radhe Shyam is almost done with the shooting, the makers dismantled the hospital set in the city. The Radhe Shyam team then safely transported the property to their warehouse in Hyderabad exteriors. The entire set property was transported in a convoy of nine trucks to the hospital.

Radhe Shyam’s production designer Ravinder Reddy said that these beds were made to reflect the design sense of 1970s and are pretty sturdy and comfortable. “They have all the comforts that a bed-ridden patient can leverage,” he added.

The idea came to light when Ravinder Reddy recently got in touch with a hospital to procure a bed for one of his relative. On being told about the shortage of medical infrastructure, he immediately proposed donating the set property which both the makers and hospital administration agreed to.

“When the CEO said that there were no beds available, and that they were having difficulty in procuring, I realised the acute shortage and the gravity of the issue. Soon, I asked my filmmakers if we could contribute our hospital set, which we built for the film, for the Covid-19 patients. They immediately agreed,” said Reddy.

He further added that the entire Radhe Shyam team including Prabhas are extremely happy with this development. We hope the situation normalises soon and everyone recovers to the best of their health.
