Actor Randeep Hooda has become the brand ambassador of Mumbai's fire department.

Honoured to be the brand's face, the "Main Aur Charles" actor shared that the firefighters are not only fighting fire, but are also involved in "rescue and relief operations which a lot of us are unaware of".

Randeep revealed that he is not afraid of fire, but knows just how dangerous it can be given the high temperature.

The actor even discussed the perils with the men-in-uniform during the shoot. As for getting into their uniform, Randeep admitted that it was a proud moment for him to wear it.

"It's hot," he said.

The campaign for the department will begin on April 14, and seeks to rope in volunteers from all walks of life.

On the film front, Randeep is currently filming for "Sultan" and "Do Lafzon Ki Kahani" with "Laal Rang" and "Sarbjit" slated to release on April 22 and May 20.
