Actor Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha received great response from movie buffs and it entered the coveted Rs 100 crore club. Many prominent faces of the industry heaped praises on the actor for coming up with a project with an innovative subject and the latest one to join the bandwagon is Hollywood star Matt Damon. The latter’s non-profit organisation, Water.org has been addressing the issue of open defecation for the last few years.
