Actor Darshan volunteers to be brand ambassador for Agriculture Dept
Bengaluru, Mar 5: Kannada film actor Darshan on Friday became the brand ambassador of the Agriculture Department and offered to model for farmers for free.
"From now on, I will work for the Agriculture Department as well. There is a close relation between ordinary people and the farmers. I will also toil for the cause of farmers," he said at an event organised at the Vidhana Soudha.
Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Agriculture Minister B C Patil expressed joy over Darshan's gesture.
"I never expected 'Challenging Star' Darshan to volunteer as the brand ambassador. With his huge fan following, the agriculture sector will benefit a lot," the Chief Minister said.
He said he would watch Darshan's upcoming movie 'Roberrt'. The action-thriller has already created a wave among movie buffs even before its release on May 11. The film would be released in Kannada and Telugu simultaneously.
