Replying to this, Varun wrote, “धन्यवाद प्रधानमंत्री जी. साफ सफाई की शुरुआत घर की सबसे पहली शिक्षा होती है और मेरा यह मानना है कि जिस तरह से स्वच्छ भारत अभियान की शुरुआत आपने की है उसमें हरेक भारतीय को अपना योगदान देना चाहिए. प्लास्टिक के प्रयोग को जड़ से ख़त्म करना हमारा संकल्प है. स्वच्छता के हिसाब से भारत को नंबर 1 बनाना हमारा संकल्प है.”

The initiative was announced to the country during Modi’s radio broadcast ‘Mann Ki Baat’, where he urged everyone to make India plastic-free and emphasised on the importance of maintaining cleanliness at public places. He also called for a global boycott of plastic at a United Nations event in Greater Noida.

Meanwhile, ‘Coolie No. 1’ remake will star Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan. Directed by David Dhawan and produced by Vashu Bhagnani, the film will hit the screens on 1 May 2020.
