Bollywood veteran Dharmendra is spreading the anti-drug message in his own 'filmi' way. While at the closing of the Punjab Games here, the actor threatened to climb the nearest water tank, a la his cult hit 'Sholay', if the youth did not stop using drugs.

The 75-year-old attended the closing ceremony of the Games at Jalandhar, along with his actor sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol and spoke at length about the increasing cases of drug addiction in the state of Punjab.

"Healthy youngsters are crucial to the state and country's progress. Unfortunately this is not happening and Punjabi society is increasingly plagued by drug abuse," said Dharmendra.

"If you want an addiction, get addicted to sports, get addicted to working for your country's development," said the actor.
