Here's Why Superhero Hulk is Calling Himself '100% Bihar'

The one and only Hulk star, Mark Ruffalo, says he is now "100% Bihar." What he means is that he is right behind the state's efforts to become fully solar powered. And not just him, prominent personalities like Manoj Bajpai, Vinay Pathak and Shekhar Suman are endorsing Bihar's efforts too.

The Hulk is 100% green. Literally! Yes, we all know that. But did you also know that he is "100% Bihar?"

Hollywood actor, Mark Ruffalo, who is mostly known for playing the character of superhero Hulk, has lent his support to #SolarBihar project, which focuses on encouraging people to adopt sustainable and renewable energy.

Ruffalo took to Twitter and supported the campaign by tweeting that he is “100 % Bihar” -

I'm 100% NY, but I'm also 100% Bihar. #SolarBihar@100isNowhttps://t.co/4I803ieppO

While Ruffalo has given a new kick to the initiative, he is not the only celebrity to be part of this much talked about campaign.
