Ritz Kapadia and designer C Raj confirmed in an interview to a TV channel on Sunday that they have approached the foursome - Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Katrina Kaif to support the cause.

Over 1500 poor and underprivileged students and street kids in Mumbai and other metros will be provided books, school uniforms and school fees and accommodation for about two years, informed Ritz Kapadia. NGO Havoc 2014 plans to provide vocational and technical training to 2000 women in India this year to enable them to earn their livelihood and become financially independent.

Over 25 designers, 10 NGOs, 5 fashion institutes, 200 fashion designing students and about 100 models have come together to put together Havoc 2014 – a fashion extravaganza for a cause. The movement is spearheaded by Ritz Kapadia CEO of Dream Revolution Entertainment, designer C Raj and journalist and publicist Flynn Remedios.

Adding to this designer C Raj says, “About ten designers will show case their collections on the 13th of August this year in Mumbai. This is also a platform for aspiring designers and fashion and apparel designing students to come together on one platform and showcase their products and designs. A contest for aspiring student designers will be part of the event and an opportunity for other artisans like singers and musicians to perform to a discerning audience of over 3000 selected guests.”
