Superstars Vijay and Suriya accept the challenge for a good cause

Sep 16, 2014

The 'My Tree Challenge' is a good cause which is gaining prominence thanks to the involvement of some highly popular and socially conscious celebrities. Abdul Manaf, an entrepreneur, and Imthias Kadeer, a travel photographer kick-started this online eco-revolution in the first place. The initiative is to make the world a greener and better place to live in.

Young Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil instigated the cause in the Malayalam film industry and also challenged senior superstars Mohanlal and Mammootty to join the movement. Mammootty obliged soon and went on to appeal to his fans and friends to do the same, and also challenged Shahrukh Khan, Vijay and Suriya to follow suit.

Suriya gladly accepted the challenge recently and in a little video doing the rounds, Suriya plants a sapling and also invites fellow superstars from around the country, Aamir Khan, Sudeep and Mahesh Babu to do their bit for the 'My Tree Challenge'. Suriya also calls out to his fans and fans of the three above mentioned stars to do their bit in this regard.

Vijay is also heard to have accepted the challenge and is planning to plant close to 25000 saplings over a period of time, in association with an environmentalist named Abdul Ghani. The Ilayathalapathy also intends to challenge school children to take this forward.
