Amitabh, who already expressed his willingness to be the brand ambassador of Gujarat during his Jan 6 visit to Gandhinagar for a special screening of "Paa" for Chief Minister Modi, replied to a question by mediapersons saying, "I would be happy to lend my face and voice for the cause of Gujarat."

A thrilled chief minister followed up the conversation with a formal offer and the filmstar conveyed his acceptance.
The filmstar was caught fulsome earlier in his blog as he praised the chief minister after his Gujarat visit.He had stated: "He (Modi) lives simply and with mere basic needs and most unlike the head of a state. He speaks with affection on development and progress. He is welcoming to fresh ideas and ideals. His oft repeated phrase of him being a CM, a common man, is not misunderstood. He does and acts as he speaks.,"
"He talks of raising the level of awareness for his state through tourism and I volunteer to participate in any activity that would help promote that," the film icon wrote explaining his interest in promoting Gujarat.
