The Swachh Bharat themed movie has gained a lot of appreciation. Last month, the movie found a special mention from Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, he appreciated Akshay Kumar’s efforts to spread awareness on the importance of building toilets.

Akshay Kumar had recently suggested some ‘Swachh Ideas’ to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in order to make Mumbai Swachh. He requested the Chief Minister to build toilets at every 500 metres and propagated the idea of a toilet app that would tell people where the nearest toilet is.
