Mumbai: Bollywood actor John Abraham, who has been named the brand ambassador of Aruncachal Pradesh Tourism, says he would like to shoot an entire film in the northeastern state.

"I just told (state Tourism Secretary Joram) Dr Bedathat I would like to take an entire film to Arunacahal Pradesh.. he corrected me that not an entire film, take one schedule and then you see. I am excited to explore it and we are responsible as film makers and we hope it grows in the arena of tourism. 'Rangoon' was shot there and we hope even we shoot our film there," John said here.

The actor also feels the region has been alienated.

"Historically and geographically we have alienated the northeast from the rest of India. I think it's really sad. I think its high time that we include the northeast in India."

John says the right time to visit Arunachal Pradesh is from October to February.

"The ideal time to visit Arunachal is from October to February. After mid February it rains and in October its fantastic so that's the right time to visit Arunachal Pradesh," he said.

John, who is bike lover, also says he would like to go their for biking routes.

"I would like to take time off personally to go there and would like to go their for biking routes. I like that space I have done more than 3,000 miles in Europe so I would like to go to Arunachal Pradesh to explore the space. The second thing what I like is the white water rafting."
