The highly expected Unforgettable Tour, which is also being known as the Bachchan World Tour, will be staged during two periods later this year.
In a statement released by the events’ organisers Wizcraft Entertainment, the first leg of the tour will take place during July-August and the second in November-December of this year. Canada, USA, UK and Europe will see the three Bachchans, Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya first, while Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and some others later.
The first show has been pencilled in for Friday July 18th in Toronto and Akshay Kumar will indeed be part of this. Although it has not yet been confirmed but it is very likely, that Akshay Kumar will be with the Bachchan during the whole of the first leg. This will mean that Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu, Riteish Deshmukh and composers Vishal-Shekhar will be the final line-up.
The following is taken from the press release:
Amitabh Bachchan - He’s legendary and an Indian icon. With countless hits to his credit, he’ll have a huge volume of material to perform and for audiences outside India; this could very well be the only time you’ll see him perform on stage.
Akshay Kumar - Over the last few years, he’s become one of the most popular mass-oriented Bollywood actors with hits like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Andaaz, Phir Hera Pheri and Namastey London to his credit. He’s always been amazing on stage, so expect the same this time!
Aishwarya Rai - The last time she toured was with Hrithik Roshan years ago and since then she’s further consolidated her status as a leading actress with movies like Jodhaa Akbar, Dhoom 2 and Guru.
Abhishek Bachchan - After consecutive flops, he has finally created a niche for himself and last year gave a powerhouse performance in Guru. It’ll be very interesting to see how he does on his first world tour!
Bipasha Basu - The queen of sensuality, she’s sure to set the stage on fire with numbers like Beedi, Namak and Race Saanson Ki. She’s got an unbelievably long list of chart-buster songs to perform…so you can count on great entertainment!
Riteish Deshmukh - He’s the funny-man of the industry and is one of the most promising of his generation.
Vishal-Shekhar - After ages, we’re going to see established composers tour with stars. Get ready for fireworks by these two who have done amazing work in Tashan, Om Shanti Om, Bluffmaster, Salaam Namaste and Dus. They’re currently on a roll and are likely to continue straight through the tour!
