Mumbai, Jan 30 (NationPress) Actor and passionate wildlife advocate Randeep Hooda has expressed his disapproval regarding recent discussions about implementing birth control measures for female tigers in order to regulate their numbers. He labeled the proposed action as a “ridiculous and dangerous idea.”
“The only population that needs control is humans, not tigers. It’s absurd to consider limiting the birth of a species that is already fighting for survival. Tigers are not merely a representation of our wildlife heritage; they play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance,” Randeep stated.
The actor continued: “Any attempt to disrupt their natural reproduction process is a misguided move.
He elaborated: “Rather than concentrating on diminishing the population of an endangered species, our efforts should be directed toward ensuring a safer habitat for them. Issues such as encroachment, poaching, and habitat loss are the genuine threats that require urgent attention, rather than controlling their numbers. This notion contradicts the fundamental principles of conservation.”
On the cinematic front, Randeep is set to appear alongside Hollywood actor John Cena in the forthcoming action-packed thriller “Matchbox,” which is presently being filmed in Budapest.
“Matchbox” will narrate the story of a group of childhood friends who must collaborate to avert an impending global catastrophe while rekindling their friendship during the journey, as reported by variety.com.
This live-action feature, inspired by Mattel’s die-cast matchbox toy vehicles, also includes stars such as Teyonah Parris, Jessica Biel, and Sam Richardson. Shooting is actively taking place in Budapest, where Hooda is joining the ensemble.
The film draws inspiration from Mattel’s beloved toy vehicle series, initially created in 1953 by automotive enthusiast Jack Odell. Odell’s daughter was allowed to bring a toy to school only if it could fit inside a matchbox, which led to her classmates clamoring for their own “matchbox car,” thus giving birth to the brand. Today, Mattel reports that two Matchbox cars are sold every second globally.
