Esteemed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, renowned for movies like ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘Dunki,’ has partnered with the Election Commission to create a short film promoting voter awareness. Titled ‘My Vote, My Duty,’ the film features messages from prominent personalities including Sachin Tendulkar, Rajkummar Rao, Amitabh Bachchan, R Madhavan, Raveena Tandon, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Arshad Warsi, Bhumi Pednekar, and Mona Singh.
Officials from the Election Commission shared insights about the film, stating, “The film aims to address attitudinal barriers such as indifference and apathy, reaffirming the importance of each vote. Produced by Rajkumar Hirani and directed by Sanjiv Kishinchandani, the film aspires to inspire citizens to recognize the significance of their votes. The film highlights the impact of every single vote.”
Rajkumar Hirani, known for his recent work in ‘Dunki’ featuring Shah Rukh Khan, has received a positive response from audiences, leading to screenings in other countries. There are indications that a special screening for the UK government might be organized due to the film’s relevance to contemporary issues.
The source close to the film’s team stated, “Since Dunki narrates the story of illegal immigrants who take the Donkey route to enter the cross borders, the UK government has found it to be a relevant subject in today’s time. The film has received tremendous love from the UK audience, as not only it talks about an important issue but also highlights the dangerous Dunki route, and hence now the government is also keen to watch the film.”
Returning to the short film, ‘My Vote, My Duty,’ Rajkumar Hirani has collaborated with the Election Commission of India to create a film emphasizing voter awareness. Released on National Voters’ Day, January 25, the film centers around the theme of the Value of One Vote.
