Amitabh Bachchan, on Tuesday, who is shooting in Hyderabad for his film with director Nag Ashwin, took part in Green India Challenge by planting saplings at Ramoji Film City. Lauding the efforts of Green India Challenge and its founder and Rajya Sabha MP Joginipally Santosh Kumar in expanding the green cover across Telangana and the country, Big B enquired about what inspired Santosh Kumar to take up this initiative, how plants are cared for, tended even after years of plantation and expressed his happiness at the results.
He said he was surprised to know that GIC planted three crore saplings recently on the occasion of the birthday of Telangana`s minister for municipal administration and urban development K. T. Rama Rao. "It was certainly a mammoth task, and I am in awe of their dedication and commitment towards the environment," he said.
