Amitabh Bachchan has announced the names of the Bollywood ’stars’ that will accompany his family on their world tour in 2008.

Akshay Kumar, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, Riteish Deshmukh and Shiamak Davar will perform alongside Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek Bachchan, and his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai. The rehearsals of this show, which is to be produced by Wizcraft, will begin soon.

Amitabh has also confirmed that Hrithik Roshan was initially to be involved in the tour, but opted out. “Hrithik is not coming along. We did so want him to, but he has films and other date commitments,” he says.
