Amitabh Can Not be a Super Star in Kerala

Share

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has said that Kerala denying him the post of tourism brand ambassador was a "petty act of cheap convenience." In an entry in his blog, Bachchan also said that to find political connotations in his decision to promote Gujarat as tourism destination was rubbish. The CPI(M)-led government of Kerala had initially approached Bachchan to be the state's tourism ambassador and had later dropped the idea after the party politburo intervened and said someone who promoted Narendra Modi's Gujarat cannot be Kerala's ambassador. Hurt by the decision, Bachchan said in his blog that what he would be doing in Gujarat was just to work in a short film that would highlight various places of interest in the state.
