'Salute': Anupam Kher shares 'Hum Kalakaar Hain' as a tribute to every artist

Actor Anupam Kher on Friday shared 'Hum Kalakaar Hain' music video in an attempt to ooze positivity to all artists, whose work has been on pause since the outbreak of COVID-19. Cinema is one of the sectors of the country that has been severely hit with the spread of the virus. 

Many artists, technicians, and workers of the film and television industry have been deeply affected by the coronavirus crisis, which made the theatre doors go shut and brought a halt in the production. Kher, shared the official music video on Twitter, on behalf of IFTDA (Indian Film and Television Director's Association) and filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, who took the initiative of making 'Hum Kalakaar Hain'.
