Director Ameer will organize a World Fitness Federation National level bodybuilding and fitness competition on September 17 and 18. The aim of the competition is to promote a drug-free society. The winner will get a cash prize of Rs 10 lakh.
Speaking about the initiative, Ameer said, "As a result of this people are not giving much importance to health these days like before. Just like how we follow the fashion and lifestyle of western countries, we are also trying to replicate their food habits as well. However, it is important that awareness should be created among the youth about staying healthy. There is a popular belief that only actors have to be fit, which is not true. But now we are at a stage where coming out of college without any drug habit is itself seen as a big achievement. This is a very disappointing and highly dangerous trend. We should concentrate more on our health. To achieve this we must focus on sports, bodybuilding, or any other activity that will keep us away from drugs. started focusing on my health, only after I started appearing on screen. I realized that I was late. But I do not want others to start late. This is why I thought of conducting this competition with the support of my physical trainer Mohan, who has conducted many such events. Many people from India are participating. I do not want the event to get restricted to the capital city alone and hence the first event will be held in Madurai. More events will be conducted based on the response for this event."
