"Two weeks ago, we started work on India's biggest concert. To entertain people who are locked-down at home. To pay tribute to those who work on the frontlines while we work from home. And to raise funds for those who have no work and no home," a message from #IForIndia, the concert for our times, said.

Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Mick Jagger, Will Smith, and Mindy Kaling are among the musicians to join the initiative.
