New Delhi, Mar 11 (ANI): Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin has opined that movies cannot be solely held responsible for bringing about a change in the society.

The 'Margarita With A Straw' actress, who was present at the launch of a youth-led program 'Campus Ambassador Program; Making Delhi City Safer,' said that the films can take the society to a better and safer place, but cannot do it all alone.

"There are movies, which are artistic. Such movies have the capacity to bring about a change, but there are movies, which are completely commercial and made for people's leisure time, which is not at all wrong to have. So, I don't think that the motive or the responsibility of taking the society to a better and safer place should be only on the shoulders of the film makers or movies," said Kalki to ANI.

On the occasion of the 100th International Women's Day, PVR Nest along with Frame Her Right Campaign; and SafetiPin, the country's only audit based safety application, launched the initiative, which aims at empowering youth to have an active role in developing safer cities.

Apart from Kalki Koechlin, the event saw the presence of H.E. Mr. Richard Verma, the US Ambassador to India and H.E. Mr. Nadir Patel, Canadian High Commissioner to India along with Mr. Ajay Bijli- Chairman & Managing Director- PVR Limited.
