While his father, megastar Amitabh Bachchan is Gujarat's brand ambassador, actor Abhishek Bachchan could soon be seen promoting Madhya Pradesh, officials said Thursday.

A.K. Bhattacharya, CEO of Eco Tourism Board, said: "Yes, we have sent a proposal to him, and waiting for his response."

The junior Bachchan has a maternal link to Bhopal as Jaya Bachchan's parents live in the City of Lakes.

Jaya's father, Tarun Bhaduri, was a journalist in Madhya Pradesh.

Sources said the proposal sent to Abhishek by Madhya Pradesh government was through Jaya.
