Big boys play with toys, yes, but what’s
Anushka Sharma doing with
Shahid Kapoor,
Vir Das and Chang?
We’ll tell you. The cast of the soon-to-be released film Badmaash Company joined Radio Mirchi on its eighth anniversary in collecting toys from listners for underprivileged kids. This is part of the Mirchi Toy Factory – Toy Do, Joy Lo initiative in which the popular radio station’s appeal to listeners to donate toys for less fortunate children drew an overwhelming response.
Everything from Pictionary to carrom boards and Scrabble to bicycles poured in. The toys go to the NGO Children Toy Foundation which organises play hours for children at construction sites, slums, municipal schools and hospitals.
Shahid, Anushka, Vir and Chang pitched in as well. And they travelled in the bright red van of the NGO looking mischievously like kids themselves! Going by the chemistry between them, Badmaash Company promises to be a firecracker of a film! Meanwhile, the Mirchi Toy Factory initiative is on until Friday. Wanna join in? Drop your toys at any of the Shoppers Stop outlets in the city. Turn to page 4 to know how to contribute your toys to the Toy Do, Joy Lo initiative.
