Superstar Salman Khan will turn barber for a day, filmmaker Karan Johar will turn photographer, Ranbir Kapoor will sell vada-pav, Varun Dhawan, a Pattiwala, Siddharth Malhotra will sell vegetables, cricketer Harbhajan Singh will be a namkeen seller, singer Mika Singh will turn chaiwala.

"We are very thankful to each and every celebrity who voluntarily joined us for this noble cause. They not only took out time from their busy lives but also whole heartedly committed to leading the life of a common man without any remuneration," Raj Nayak, CEO Colors said.
