Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has been approached by Chhattisgarh State Agriculture to become the brand ambassador of Chhattisgarh to promote paddy production in the state.

"Film star Aamir Khan will be the brand ambassador of Chhattisgarh by March if everything goes well," said state agriculture minister Chandrashekhar Sahu to reporters.

"It would be like Amitabh Bachchan, who has been endorsing Gujarat tourism. Aamir will promote paddy production in Chhattisgarh, where the main occupation of the people is agriculture. A dialogue is underway with Aamir Khan and very soon he will take a final decision," Sahu added.

It remains to be seen if Aamir Khan will accept this offer.
