Where millions of people lose their lives due to the food and hunger crisis, one-third of the food produced globally is wasted or lost. Actors Mukul Chadda and Rasika Dugal have teamed up again with a short movie, called Zero Hunger with a strong message about food conservation and distribution. The movie is written and directed by Mukul's 14-year-old nephew, Neel Menon. It was initially made for a school project dealing with the United Nations' sustainable development goal of zero hunger.
