Wizcraft International Entertainment announced two superstar entrants to their grandest, blockbuster world tour—‘The Unforgettable Tour: Experience the magic…’— led by Amitabh Bachchan. The performers include Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh.
This massive tour will have an array of today’s biggest stars descending onto the world stage with their scintillating performances, promising to bring alive the magic of Indian cinema. It will rock fans across 6 continents and 18 countries.
‘The Unforgettable’ world tour will commence in July and will take centre stage in mainstream international venues, promoted in conjunction with international partners and promoters.
Speaking on the occasion, Akshay Kumar said, “I am elated to be on ‘The Unforgettable Tour’ that will reach out to millions of Indian cinema fans across the world. Touring with Wizcraft and Amitji, I believe that fans will be in store for a great journey full of energy and excitement.” Audiences will also get to witness Akshay perform songs from his forthcoming film, Singh is Kinng.
Preity Zinta shared the same sentiments. “It’s indeed an honour to be a part of a show of such a great scale and calibre and to be onstage with the Bachchans and others,” she said. “It is always a delight to reach out to our fans and be a part of the tour, I intend on doing just that.”
These days in Bollywood, it has become a trend of sorts of 'suing' of the filmmaker/s just before the movie releases. This time, it's the Roshans who are literally 'facing the music'. The reason being, Ram Sampath, a 32 year old music composer, has dragged director Rakesh Roshan, his musician brother Rajesh Roshan, their film company Filmkraft Productions Pvt Ltd, Super Cassettes Industries, Sony Ericsson and the ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi to the court, alleging that they have directly lifted 'his' music for their album Krazzy 4.
Ram, who has composed music for over 3200 commercials, the music soundtracks of films like Khakee and Let's Talk, a remix for pop singer Justin Timberlake, had just received the prestigious advertising award 'Abby'. He claims that the four tracks (the title track, 'Break Free', and their remix versions) have been lifted directly from his 'The Thump Is Here' jingle that he had created for Sony Ericsson mobile in 2007.
Ram has now sent a legal notice to the Roshans stating that there were no credits given to him for the music, and that its Rajesh Roshan's name that figures in the credits list. While he has now sought a damage of Rs. 2 crores from the Roshans, the judge said that he will hear both the music (the Sony Mobile commercial and Krazzzy 4) before taking up the hearing again on Wednesday.
After stunning the audience with an 'outrageous' performance, the spunky lass Sherlyn is now doing a Naomi Campbell in an itsy bitsy golden and diamond draped outfit for her latest video 'Dard'.
She'll be seen wearing a 30-carat, diamond encrusted outfit made out of real gold thread spun specially for the purpose, which costs a cool Rs 25 lakh. According to the choreographer of Sherlyn's video Remo D'souza - the outfit has been specially made by craftsmen from Rajasthan and Udaipur.
Sherlyn got her track specially remade to give it a high-voltage club remix feel. The music is re arranged and remixed by DJ Akbar Sami who spent considerable time and effort on the project.
'Dard' will be shot in exotic locations and will feature complex choreography, sets, lighting and sound effects. A group of technicians and laser light experts have been working on the computerized effects that will compare with the best in the world. Sherlyn said that she didn't want to divulge any details at this stage. 'You can see me in action when the shooting begins'. I will definitely invite all of you guys...
We hope Sherlyn extends this invitation to her fans as well.
Namastey London, Partner and now a box office Welcome that's put Katrina Kaif ahead in the Race to the top.
At least as far as her market price goes, Katrina is being paid Rs six crores for a two-film deal by production house Studio 18. That's Rs three crore per film.
She is getting over a crore for a item number song in the Akshay Kumar starrer Blue. And now even a Yash Raj flick with John Abraham is reportedly paying her Rs three crores.
All this makes Katreena Kaif one of Bollywood's highest paid actresses alongside Kareena Kapoor.
Kareena, who also reportedly charges about Rs three crores a film, has a two-film deal with Studio18 and another three film deal with Ashtavinayak Films that produced Jab We Met.
The Katrina deal according to reports seems to have rattled Kareena and she's raised her price tag to Rs six crore for her next film. But Ashtavinayak Films that's producing the film has denied any such demand. So maybe no one is willing to sign Kareena as yet for that kind of money.
