Drawing parallels with the model of Gujarat, the minister said the state would rope in a celebrity to promote tourism. Modi’s state is being promoted by Big-B Amitabh Bachchan. On the same lines, we plan to appoint a celebrity, preferably from the field of cinema or sports, as the brand ambassador of Andhra Pradesh.
Reportedly, AP’s Minister for Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Kodali Nani, is said to have suggested Jr NTR’s name to CM Jagan Mohan Reddy for the same. It is said that Jagan is considering Jr NTR’s name as well.
Kodali Nani and NTR shares good rapport between them as the former produced NTR’s 'Samba' movie. Jagan and Mahesh Babu share a close bond earlier but they were separated as AP’s CM is not impressed with Mahesh’s attitude. Next, to Mahesh, Nagarjuna is close to Jagan.
Nonetheless, the decision is up to NTR and we have to wait and see whether he would take up the offer or not.
