After the heinous rape incidents in 2012 shook the entire nation, Bollywood actor-director-singer Farhan Akhtar started a movement called 'MARD- Men Against Rape and Discrimination' in March 2013. Aiming at raising social awareness against rape and sexual discrimination, Farhan recently released a song -- Chullein Aasman -- with music composers Salim-Sulaiman Merchant.

The song talks about the marginalisation of women in India, how they should realise their potential and break all boundaries holding them back within the four walls of their homes. The lyrics talk about strengthening women and pushing them to 'touch the sky'.

Sung by Farhan Akhtar, the video also features Salim-Sulaiman with the images of women -- daughters, sisters and mothers -- from different sections of the society.

Since its inception, the campaign has witnessed support from other Bollywood celebrities like Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun Rampal and more. Joining the campaign, actor Mahesh Babu and Sachin Tendulkar also showed support by lending their voice to a poem written by Javed Akhtar.
