New Delhi, Team Digital. Bollywood actors Jackie Shroff, Mrunmayee Deshpande and Suresh Wadkar have joined the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) as Goodwill Ambassadors for the second consecutive year.

Actor Jackie Shroff says, “There are two things I am really passionate about: films and the environment and this festival combines both. I suggest people watch the films that are going to be screened, which are based on the environment and give you Guess climate change is real. I was a part of it last year as well and it was a huge success and I hope people show the same love for this edition.
