Bollywood actor and environmental advocate Randeep Hooda has been appointed as the Goodwill Champion for the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALTEFF) 2025, India’s largest platform dedicated to films and stories about sustainability, climate action, and ecological awareness. Recognised for his enduring commitment to wildlife conservation, Hooda has often used his public influence to highlight environmental issues and encourage collective responsibility towards nature. His initiatives range from participating in reforestation efforts and rescuing animals to promoting sustainable practices that help protect biodiversity. Festival Director Kunal Khanna said the actor’s association perfectly aligns with the festival’s mission. “Randeep Hooda embodies everything that ALTEFF stands for empathy towards nature, respect for all life forms, and an active commitment to conservation. He’s not only an acclaimed actor but also someone who walks the talk when it comes to protecting the environment. Having him as our Goodwill Champion is an honour, and we’re excited to work together in amplifying the message of sustainability and compassion for all living beings,” he said. Sharing his thoughts on the appointment, Hooda expressed gratitude for being part of an initiative that blends art with advocacy. “Nature has always been my greatest teacher. Whether I’m spending time in the wild or supporting causes for animal and environmental welfare, I feel a sense of responsibility to give back to the planet that gives us so much. The All Living Things Environmental Film Festival is a powerful platform that brings attention to stories that matter, stories that remind us that we share this earth with countless other species. I’m proud to be part of this movement and hope to inspire more people to take action for the planet,” he said. Over the years, ALTEFF has earned support from several notable names in the film industry, including Alia Bhatt and Dia Mirza, who have championed its message of sustainability and environmental consciousness.
