Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar has demanded the authorities to ban plastic completely to save the environment.
"Ban plastic completely. I am not requesting, I am demanding to the authorities," Sircar tweeted on Sunday.
"If we genuinely want to save the environment, we need to do this right away...Let us set an example," he added.
Talking about his love for nature, Sircar said: "My favourite past time is watching trees and watching nature is my meditation."
Sircar, known for films like "Vicky Donor", "Madras Cafe" and "Piku", picked up a story which celebrates love, nature and the autumn season to narrate through his next directorial "October".
The film stars Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu. Co-produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, "October" is slated to release on April 13.
