Ahmedabad, 4 February 2012

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Friday completed second leg of Gujarat Tourism ad shoot and left the state.

The second leg of shooting started in Kutch and reached Junagadh, Modhera, Patan, Ahmedabad, Vadnagar, Sidhdhpur and Ambaji then after. Last destination of Shri Bachchan was Saputara hill station in south Gujarat where he completed two-day shoot today and left the state by road to reach Nashik from where he reached Mumbai by air.

Shri Bachchan has yet to complete still photo shoot. This task will be completed in the studio in Mumbai according to Gujarat Tourism sources.

Shri Bachchan in his first post-Gujarat visit tweet on Friday evening said: “Back from another leg of promotions for Gujarat Tourism.. thank you team Tourism for your care and hard work … its creating ripples.”

He said, “This time the hills of Saputara .. dry now but heaven during the monsoons… will visit again … great tribal are ..!!”

He further tweeted: “And the people of Gujarat, even in the dense forests, there to cheer and appreciate our efforts .. you give us inspiration to work!”

Late in the evening Shri Bachchan blogged: “There is time now to catch up on lost sleep. The schedule in Gujarat involved early morning wake up calls, miles and kilometers of road driving before reaching destinations, working on the shootings, driving back and settling in to a new bed and a new environ each day. It can become disorienting at times. The rapid change in our night halts, at various Circuit Houses and Hotels, the fresh beds would throw us. You get up in the middle of the night and walk to the wrong side of the room thinking it to be the one where you were the previous night. But it is not. Embarrassing to say the least, but there …”

“The miles and miles of driving on roads straining the back, the sliced fingers after the kite flying, the physical walks on difficult terrain, has all been of the past now. Though I must say it was most enjoyable. But really, Saputara, the hill station needs to be seen during the monsoons when all is green and lush and freshly washed and laundered. I shall soon after this Monsoon !!”
