Hrithik Roshan to promote 'Don't Drink and Drive' campaign

26 Sep 2014

Hrithik Roshan may be busy promoting his upcoming film Bang Bang, but that does not stop the actor from getting involved in noble social causes. Amidst promotions and the recent #bangbangdare fever, the actor has now decided to join the 'Don't Drink and Drive' promotional campaign in association with the Delhi police.

With the increasing number of accidents happening due to drink and drive cases in the capital, the police decided to take up the initiative and expressed their desire to rope in Hrithik Roshan as the face for this campaign in order to spread awareness about the hazards of drinking and driving. Not ending at that, the police along with the actor will not only condemn acts of driving under influence but will also educate people on the means of road safety as a part of this campaign.

Hrithik Roshan who was approached by the police authorities last week, immediately agreed to participate in this initiative. It is being said that this was because the actor and the team of his upcoming film Bang Bang were impressed by the efficiency of the Delhi police. During the shooting schedule of their film, the Delhi police it seems had provided a tight security around the venue and were majorly responsible for the hassle-free shooting of the film. Hence, Hrithik Roshan too decided to join hands with the police authorities for this campaign.

Produced by Fox Star Studios and directed by Siddharth Anand, Bang Bang also stars Katrina Kaif, Danny Denzongpa amongst others and is the official remake of the Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz starrer Knight And Day. It is slated to release on October 2.
