Mitra said Shri Bachchan will visit Saputara, Ahmedabad, Siddhpur and Ambaji.
He said the process of making story board of the advertisements featuring Bachchan is going on. The final theme would be approved by the Chief Minister and then Shri Bachchan would come to Gujarat for final shoot.
Mitra said earlier campaign featuring Mr. Bachchan was very successful and the state noticed 30% increase in incoming traffic of tourists.
