The actor last week released a ‘Toilet Anthem’ titled “Toilet Ka Jugaad”, which was crooned by the actor himself. The song is a satirical take on the much prevalent social issue of open defecation in India. “India leads the world in open defecation, 54% of India still defecates in the open, millions of women risk getting raped every day, 2 lakh children die each year of infection from open defecation,” are some of the facts about open defecation that the two and a half minute video focuses on.
The film, which also stars Anupam Kher in a pivotal role, will release on August 11.
