Dabbawalas support Anna Hazare's biopic

The dabbawalas have been an integral part of Mumbai, since quite a few city dwellers rely on them for their meals on a daily basis. The food providers have now decided to support another noble cause. Since they are inspired by social activist Anna Hazare's immense contribution to humanitarian causes, they have decided to promote his upcoming biopic. Directed by Shashank Udapurkar, Anna stars Tanishaa Mukerji, Rajit Kapoor, Sharat Saxena, Govind Namdeo and Shashank himself.
The dabbawalas had even observed a fast to extend their support to Anna during the Lokpal Bill movement. Until the film releases, Mumbai's most reliable tiffin carriers will be seen wearing a cap reading Main bhi Anna and Andolan Begins on 14th October. Mahindra Jain, the producer of Anna, believes that since the dabbawalas travel across the city, this will bring visibility to the film. He says, 'Dabbawalas are an essential part of Mumbai. We are honoured that they have come forward to support our film.' Anna, presented by The Rise Pictures Pvt Ltd, produced by Manindra Jain and distributed in India by SPE India, releases on October 14.
