"Christmas has brought cheer! #Dharavi reported ‘Zero' #Covid19 positive cases. #COVID19," he tweeted.

On the acting front, Devgn's film "Maidaan" is set for release on October 15, 2021, on the occasion of Dussehra. The actor is currently also busy with his self-starring upcoming directorial "Mayday". He features alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh in the film.
