Mumbai: Sonu Sood announced a new initiative under which he would be providing e-rickshaws to the underprivileged that lost their source of livelihood during the coronavirus pandemic.

Sood, known for films like "Dabangg", "Jodhaa Akbar", and "Simmba", helped migrants reach their homes during the coronavirus-triggered lockdown earlier this year.

The actor said his initiative, titled 'khud kamaao ghar chalaao', is aimed at generating employment opportunities to make people "self-reliant".

"I believe providing job opportunities are more important than distributing supplies. I'm sure that this initiative will help them stand on their feet yet again by making them self-reliant and self-sufficient," Sood said in a statement.
