Tennage actors join Kolkata Green campaign

"In our Kolkata Green campaign, an estimated 9270 saplings are being planted in different corners of Kolkata in seven days time, with the city slowly losing the green cover. Open Tee Bioscope also talked about bringing back the uncomplicated life when we were not adrift from nature the way we are now," actor Ritobroto Mukherjee, also famed for his role of a young hotel attendant in Kahaani, told IBNS.

"We are yet to get over the trance of Open Tee Bioscope. The film talks about how we gradually lose our contact with our roots and yearn to revisit the places of past," Ritobroto, a known name among the teenage actor brigade and son of seasoned actor Santilal Mukherjee, said.

Surangana Bandyopadhyay, the doe-eyed young girl in the film having hogged attention of the male adolescents in her neighbourhood in the film and a face on small screen as well, said it was a novel initiative to tag a film's success with social forestry as "films are the most popular medium to reach out to the public."

"The audience of the Bengali films like Open Tee Bioscope have also come to the venue and have in the process got initiated to the campaign," she said.

A Big FM spokesman said, "We have initiated the Kolkata Green' campaign with help from the forest department and there will be similar innovative initiatives in future."
