Never expected ‘Challenging Star’ to volunteer to be brand ambassador for Agri Dept: BSY

Bengaluru: 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 farmers. I will also toil for the cause of farmers,” he said at an event organized at the Vidhana Soudha.

Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Agriculture Minister BC 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.
