Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is well known for spreading messages on social issues, now, has a brand new one on rail safety. In a video posted by the Central railways on YouTube, a common man can be seen attempting to cross the railway track when a train is entering a station. It is at this point that the 'Sholay' star appears on the screen to appeal to commuters not to change platforms by crossing railway tracks, and instead, use the foot over bridges to do so.

"Crossing the rail track, or travelling on the roof of a train is life-threatening. While travelling, always follow rules laid down by the railway authorities," he said. In his final message, he added that before breaking rules, "Always remember that there is someone waiting for you back home".
