Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut planted a sapling in Bhubaneswar on World Environment Day as part of the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign.
The BJP MP expressed happiness at participating in the initiative, which encourages people to plant trees in honour of their mothers and promote environmental conservation.
During her visit to Odisha, Kangana also met Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi while promoting her upcoming film Bharat Bhagya Vidhata. She said the film’s team was excited after the Chief Minister agreed to watch the movie.
Speaking about the title, Kangana revealed that it was inspired by a phrase used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to describe labourers.
She said the term deeply resonated with the filmmakers. In the movie, Kangana plays a dedicated staff nurse whose contributions often go unnoticed.
The film is backed by multiple production houses, including PEN Studios and Manikarnika Films.
