Mr. Bachchan, along with Abhishek, Aishwarya , Preity Zinta, Ritesh Deshmukh are involved in the 'Light A Billion Lives' campaign, which aims to provide solar lanterns in villages spread across nine countries. The film stars will raise money and work for the campaign initiated by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in India during their concert tour in North America and Europe.
With the film stars entering to support the cause, Mr. Pachauri (also heads TERI) is quite confident that they will able to achieve the target by February 2009 and this will also help to raise awareness about this cause.
