Amitabh Bachchan to lend voice to film on global warming

Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan is going to lend his voice for a film that talks about global warming.


The film titled Zor Laga Ke Haiya , is about a group of kids who make a tree house as part of their school assignment which a corrupt builder tries to cut down. The kids then try to garner the support of the media and society to conserve the tree.

The film is directed by Girish Joshi and produced by Kartikeya and Basant Talreja.

After Bhoothnath , this is the second children’s film that Bachchan is going to be a part of.

Reports are that the Big B was so moved by the script that he agreed to lend his voice to it without charge.

Global warming is definitely big on Big B’s agenda as last year, he joined hands with Hollywood star Sienna Miller to help spread awareness about global warming and now, he is going to lend his voice for a film that talks about the same.

Even the recently held IIFA Awards, of which Bachchan is the brand ambassador, had a green carpet welcome instead of the traditional red carpet welcome to emphasise the dangers of global warming
