The B-town biggies have taken to social media and are trying to help the victims in whichever way possible.

Earlier celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Sonali Bendre, Abhishek Bachchan, Anushka Sharma, among others took it upon their shoulders to spread awareness and raise amount for donation, and now filmmaker Priyadarshan and actors Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan have donated money to the Chief Ministers Distress Relief Fund towards the flood-ravaged Kerala.

Priyadarshan on Saturday tweeted a photograph of himself handing over a cheque to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and urged people to unite to save the state.

Along with the picture he wrote, "Handed over mine and Akshay Kumar's cheque to Kerala Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund. Let's together build back Kerala back to its glory again. No politics, no religion only humanity. Let's stand together to save Kerala. #Kerela floods."
