Amitabh Bachchan ready to promote tourism in Gujarat

Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat, 6 January, 2010
India’s greatest film star Amitabh Bachchan was in Ahmedabad today for special screening of his film ‘Paa’ at City Pulse multiplex in the outskirts of capital town Gandhinagar.
Bachchan arrived in Ahmedabad early on Wednesday and stayed in Taj hotel near the airport. He went to Gandhinagar to meet Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and had Gujarati dinner with him at his official residence. Amitabh presented three books to Modi including a book ‘Madhushala’ written by his late father Shree Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Modi presented a Gujarati Kutch woolen shawl and textile embroidery piece to Modi. Both Modi and Bachchan spent half an hour time together.
Modi and Bachchan then arrived at City Pulse multiplex together.
Before going to a film show at Citypulse multiplex, Modi and Bachchan briefly interacted with media persons gathered outside. Bachchan also gave his autograph to some of the fans gathered there.
“I have two requests. The first is that Modi, in fact, all citizens of Gujarat, watch my film Paa; and secondly, that the Gujarat government exempt my film from all taxes,” Amitabh said.
Stressing on the importance of the film, Amitabh said, “The movie is vital for the public. It will help them understand how to deal with children with physical disabilities.”He said that one should not pity such children.
Big B was very tactful when media caught up with him with questions like “Do you think Modi is Big B of politics?
He said, “I have not seen myself that way but whatever work he has done as Chief Minister of Gujarat, all the people know how important is his contribution to Gujarat.”
When asked to react on Amar Singh’s decision to resign from all posts of Samajwadi Party, Amitabh said that he doesn’t know about this.
Narendra Modi also announced: “When we were talking, he himself gave me a good idea that for development and promotion of tourism in Gujarat he will employ his hard work, time and experience for Gujarat.”
“I will tell my colleagues in the government that they approach Amitabhji with proper designs and I think this would surely benefit the state,” Modi added.
While Modi was sitting on one side of Bachchan on Citypulse multiplex’s reclining chair, state BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Purushottam Rupala was sitting on the other side of Mr. Bachchan. State Finance Minister Vajubhai Vala was sitting on the other side of Modi. State ministers, some Babus including new Chief Secretary AK Joti and about 60 invited guests also watched the show with Modi and Bachchan.

Hurrah…..I knew this was coming…..He hinted this while he came with family to Dwarka..
if you see my coment on amirkhan’s interview,i,mentioned that it would have been better if he answered
right or wisdom way,that he doesnot know modi personally but he has heared as best c.m in the country.
it would have been created his sporting impression.but he said he does not know him,sound okward.
you see the answer of amitabh.what a polished answer it is.this is called very matured persona.
of course he saw more diwalis than amirkhan.he made his name long time ago.he has remarkable
international image.even he came to newjesey in usa,the governoer was spellbound by him.
that kind a charisma he has.very down to the earth.
i,know amirkhan was innocent in his answer but still that was not amatured answer.
two great charasmatic dignatories to gather seems sun -moon to gather.
great.i,am glad that still india has some personalities for them we can feel proud.
jai…jai…garvi guj and jai hind.
