After much dilly-dallying, the actor will join the Bachchans’ Unforgettable tour, but only at select venues

Count Me In! Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar who had opted out of the Bachchan’s Unforgettable world tour due to time constraints has decided to join the tour again , though selectively.

Select act

The actor has been paid megabucks to be part of the tour, which will be held in July and August.
Says an insider from the concert team, “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.”

Adding big names

“Likewise, at other centers, 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,” adds the source.

In musical company

Vishal-Shekhar have been confirmed as a part of the tour. They’ll be accompanying the Bachchans for all their concerts, just like Kalyanji-Anandji used to be an integral part of the Big B’s concerts decades ago.
Vishal-Shekhar have been putting together Abhishek’s album for the last two years and it will finally be ready to coincide with the tour. The album will also feature vocals by the Big B.

    This is the article that they were discussing in the SB.

    This seems like a very good concept for a world tour. I like the idea of the tour having special guest appearances from other Bollywood stars. Akshay and Vishal-Shekhar are great additions. I hope this info comes to pass.

    what is the need to have guest?

    Amitabh’s name is enough.

    Yeah I always thought the Abhishek album would coincide with the tour..

    Yes, it true that Amitabh, Abhishek, and Aishwarya’s name are enough for the tour. But all world tour’s need more than 3 stars on hand. The special guest appearances from other stars along the way(at a few selective venues) is a good strategy that will appeal to more fans as they will have diverse reasons for going to the tour.

    satyam: I had completely forgotten about Abhishek’s album. But that is a good angle for the tour as well.
