Hockey Player Sandeep Singh said, “Being a sportsperson I know the importance of health and safety and when it comes kid’s safety, we as a parent should be extra careful. Kids are innocent and they become helpless so it is very important for us to educate our kids to avoid any adversaries”.

 “It was around five years ago that I came across a newspaper article on three children dying after getting trapped in a car. They were little kids who didn't know how to come out and this car was at an isolated area. No one could hear their scream and they all suffocated to death. It shook me like hell, said Mr. Sandeep M Singh Director Headrest and Founder of Maximus Films. “As a result, I started keeping safety tools in my car and even taught my daughter how to use them. Then one day, I read a social media post which said “Headrest are meant to break open the glass” which is not true. It’s a myth! Through our public service film 'Headrest', we want to create awareness around educating your kids on alternative to break open the glass in case of emergency “, he further added.

Mr. Amar Sheth, MD Group Shaman Wheels said, “We take keen interest in customer education, we are confident that this film will create an awareness amongst people to keep safety tools handy with them in their vehicle in case of an emergency”.

With more than 139,000 road deaths and casualties in India account for about 10% of road deaths worldwide. The Public Service film will be promoted across theatres and by many influencers across different social media platforms for the message to reach across India.
