MUMBAI: Bollywood filmmaker, Subhash Ghai, who has collaborated with the Forest Department of Maharashtra Government, has composed a song for its 13 crore Tree Plantation Drive initiative. The state government has come up with a unique idea to use music as a tool to increase awareness about the green cover in Maharashtra and Ghai has wholeheartedly done a fantabulous job.

Speaking about the association, Ghai, who is known to have an ear for good music, said, “As our Mumbai-based film industry has always stood by our state and national causes, we happily accepted to support 50 Cr of the Tree Plantation Drive initiated by Govt. of Maharashtra last month. I am happy that our students made music & films both of which have been appreciated all over in theatres and on television. We will continue to contribute to all causes whenever our state or nation needs us. We feel privileged and blessed to do so.”

Apart from composing the song, Subhash Ghai has also composed poetry for the initiative. He and his students, from Whistling Woods, have also shot a video for the song. Besides, renowned singer, Sonu Nigam has had given his melodious vocals to the song that has released online on 9 july 2018.
