After soaring to fame for his Bollywood movie “Gully Boy”, which was inspired by Indian street rappers and became India’s official entry for the 2020 Oscars, actor Ranveer Singh has since taken up a good cause.
He has been widely praised for getting behind a campaign to make Indian Sign Language (ISL) the country's 23rd official language.
Access Mantra, a charity supporting deaf people in India, released a video on Thursday in which many people with impaired hearing express their gratitude to the actor.
Advocating change, Ranveer has said, “This progressive step will create a ripple effect in providing equal access across all areas from education to employment and entertainment for more than 10 million Deaf people in India."
In the meantime, the actor has resumed his work after the coronavirus lockdown and is dubbing his upcoming movie "Jayeshbhai Jordaar". He is also waiting for the release of filmmaker Kabir Khan's "83", where the actor portrays legendary cricketer Kapil Dev.
