Varun’s ‘Coolie No.1’ film set goes plastic-free

NPnews24 online, Mumbai: The Central government is mulling to go plastic-free and completely ban single-use plastic in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke extensively over it on his show ‘Mann Ki Baat’ and also in his Independence Day speech.

Plastic is killing the environment around us. It is a menace.  Hence, keeping all that in mind, the film set Varun Dhawan’s upcoming movie ‘Coolie No. 1’ has become the first in Bollywood to go plastic-free, the producer of the movie Deepshikha DDeshmukh announced on Sunday.

Deepshika took to Twitter to share the team’s initiative. “Going #Plasticfree on #CoolieNo1 One sip at a time – hope we inspire many #BeatPlasticPollution #StayHydrated Thank you to the Coolie-est team for making this happen,” she tweeted.

Varun thanked the producer for the decision and urged his colleagues to do the same.
“Thank you Honey Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani for making the sets of #CoolieNo1 plastic free. I urge all my peers to do this,” he tweeted.

Their decision comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his Independence Day speech, urged people to shun single-use plastic and encouraged usage of jute and cloth bags to protect the environment.

‘Coolie No. 1’ is being directed by David Dhawan. It also features Sara Ali Khan and Paresh Rawal.

Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshika, the movie will release on May 1, 2020.
