Suniel Shetty has started an initiative to raise awareness about cancer in the Mumbai slums.

A source said, "The initiative will spread awareness about the ailment in the slum and also has surgery facilities on board. Suniel feels it is part of his social responsibility."
The actor and his team aim to educate people from weaker financial groups living in chawls. "Their fight mainly is against oral cancer amongst men and cervical and breast cancer amongst women," the source added.
