MUMBAI: The Indian Railways has reportedly approached Salman Khan to be their brand ambassador.

It is said that the Railway offer comes from the belief that the Indian Railways is "used as a mode of transport by a very large number of population and as a star, Salman has a huge appeal among the masses. So it‘s a perfect brand fit."

Khan’s films like Tere Naam, Wanted, Dabangg have important scenes in trains or railway platforms. In his latest film Bodyguard, the actor will be seen bashing up villains against the backdrop of the railway station.

If Khan accepts the railway offer, he‘ll be one of the many superstars endorsing national campaigns. Aamir Khan is the face of Indian tourism, Shah Rukh Khan endorses the Mumbai police website while Amitabh Bachchan is the brand ambassador of Gujarat.
