Akshay finally gets the money from Bachchans
It was only reported last week that Lara Dutta was to opt out of the Bachchans’ Unforgettable world tour due to an injury that she has sustained, and now we can reveal that Akshay Kumar has agreed to replace her.
Bollywood action man Akshay, who himself had earlier refused to go on the tour because of time constraints, has now taken a u-turn because he is being paid the right money. It seems the Bachchans were worried about the impact Lara Dutta’s no show at the concerts would make and therefore have decided to offer Akshay whatever he wants.
According to a source, “Akshay is back in the Bachchans’ world tour. But he’ll join them only at select venues because that’s all his schedule will allow. Likewise, at other centres, the show’s organisers Wiz-craft are now in the process of roping in B-Town A-Listers who would accompany the Bachchans at various venues as they perform all over the US and later, Europe. This way, there would be a couple of big surprise guest appearances by marquee names in every city, though the focus of interest would remain Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya.”
Om Shanti Om musicians Vishal-Shekhar have also confirmed that they will go on the tour. The duo will launch the first pop album featuring Abhishek Bachchan while on the tour; this album has father Amitabh Bachchan also singing a few tracks.
