Amitabh, a United Nations Ambassador for Girl Child, shared the same image on his official blog and wrote: "The office of the public servants that promote various campaigns are keen for this... And so I do it... Though talking about it and exhibiting its plea is hesitating for me". On the film front, the actor is gearing up for the release of the third installment of the "Sarkar" franchise, where he will reprise the role of Subhash Nagre. The film, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, also stars Jackie Shroff, Yami Gautam, Amit Sadh and Manoj Bajpayee.
