Celebrity photographer Avinash Gowarikar has come up with a photo series to promote awareness around wearing face masks.  The likes of Mahesh Babu, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt and Tiger Shroff are part of the series.  Only that he has not done a new photoshoot but has pulled from an existing stock of pics.

Taking to Twitter, Mahesh Babu said that Avinash's initiative is praise-worthy.  The 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' actor is seen covering his nose with a hand.  Although this is not exaclty wearing a mask, the message is there for all to see.

"This is simple yet effective," the superstar says, captioning the tweet with 'Mask India' and 'Wear The Mask'.
