Amitabh to be the face of Central Railways' safety campaign
In a bid to spread awareness regarding the railway safety rules among the passengers, Central Railways has roped in Amitabh Bachchan to be the face of their campaign. The megastar has started shooting for a short film that gives several important messages regarding safety. Other such films with Naseeruddin Shah as the protagonist have already been released on social media.
D K Sharma, General Manager, CR, confirmed the development
"Big B shot sequences for a short film asking passengers to follow safety rules and to use foot overbridges. In the short film, he tells passengers not to cross tracks as someone is waiting for them at home," Sharma, General Manager, Central Railways, said.
CR officials have charted out their monsoon plan
