With the Lok Sabha elections right round the corner, political leaders and activists across the country have been urging everyone to make sure to cast their valuable votes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also took to Twitter to appeal the citizens to cast vote, but in ‘Bollywood style’.
Tagging Bollywood actors, including Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal and Varun Dhawan, PM Modi referenced the filmstars’ hit films to get them to appeal to the public to vote. From Gully Boy to Uri:
My young friends @RanveerOfficial, @Varun_dvn & @vickykaushal09,
Many youngsters admire you.
It is time to tell them: Apna Time Aa Gaya Hai and that it is time to turn up with high Josh to a voting centre near you.

From Andaz Apna Apna:
Voting is not only a right but it’s also a duty.
Dear @BeingSalmanKhan and @aamir_khan,
It is time to inspire and motivate youth in your own Andaz to vote so that we can strengthen Apna Democracy & Apna country.
