Abhishek Bachchan: 'I want to make a film about the environment'

Abhishek Bachchan has said that he is keen to make a film about climate change.

The actor was recently honoured with the 'Green Globe' award for his efforts towards creating a better environment.

"I want to make a film about saving the environment and bring about a change," he told IANS. "I don't know if anyone of you is willing to fund a movie like this, but I plan to act in it.

"I know there are one or two films like Day After Tomorrow that have been successful in the West and people came out thinking what if this actually happens tomorrow.

"The real challenge is to make a film that would be engrossing enough for the audiences to come out and watch and deal with the issues.

"If we come across something like that, I am on and I'll sign on the dotted line any day."

The actor added that by supporting important issues, "celebrityhood" can be given "some kind of purpose".
