Viacom18 Motion Pictures announced the campaign at an event here Wednesday.

A biopic on IIM graduate Manjunath Shanmugham, who took on the fuel mafia in 2005 and raised his voice against corruption, `Manjunath` the film aims to take this message to millions of Indians, motivating people to come forward and join the fight against the same.

A public platform, a microsite - www.whoismanjunath.com - is targeted to garner support for other whistleblowers. Identities of those who make submissions will be kept a secret that will protect whistleblowers.

Talking about the marketing initiatives around the film, Rudrarup Dutta, marketing head, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, said: `The marketing campaign of the film is inspired by its flavour and the 'Manjunath' campaign demanded a radical thought for it to appeal to young India and inspire them to start small, but nonetheless stand up for what is right."
