A month after state forest minister Sudhir Mungantiwar sought help from Bollywood celebrities to make the ambitious programme of planting 13 crore trees across Maharashtra in July a success, filmmaker Subhash Ghai is doing his bit to champion the cause.

In a bid to urge citizens to participate in the tree plantation drive and increase the forest cover of the state, the director and the students of his institute, Whistling Woods International, have made short films on the cause. Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Asha Bhosle and Jackie Shroff are among the many stars who have put their might behind the project. The public service announcements will see these celebrities planting trees and leading by example.
