Saif, Shahid together!

Bebo’s present and ex will be part of the Bachchans tour

Kareena Kapoor’s present beau Saif Ali Khan and former flame Shahid Kapoor will be together in The Unforgettables tour of the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya).

The series of concerts by Wizcraft will unfold in July-August across US and Europe.

After Akshay Kumar, who earlier opted out, rejoined the tour (‘Akki nakki’; Hitlist, April 25), the Bachchans roped in the two stars to join in.

No hesitation

Says a source close to the Bachchans, “Saif and Shahid showed no hesitation in joining the Bachchans on tour.

The price being offered was fine and the dates for the venues where they’ll perform were worked out to their convenience. The Kareena Kapoor angle was not part of the discussions.”

The tour has been undergoing one change after another. Earlier, it was scheduled for 2007.

“Abhishek and Aishwarya were busy with their marriage and their careers. We had to take it to 2008,” explains the Big B.

While every show will be different, the Bachchans will be a constant at every concert performing to their own numbers as well the specially-composed songs by Vishal-Shekhar.

But the one item that is inescapable is Kajra Re.“Do you think we can get away from that one?” laughs Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Riteish Deshmukh and Bipasha Basu are also part of the tour announced during the IIFA awards in Yorkshire last year.

Madhuri too

It is reliably learnt that Madhuri Dixit will also be part of The Unforgettables stage shows.

Says a source close to the Bachchans, “For Madhuri, it’d be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the concerts in the US as she is based there.”

    this tour looks to be huge ( may be even bigger than jumma jumma concertin early 90’s)

  3. Comment by jayshah on 31 March 2008:

    Totally from being fairly light it is now even bigger. I hope Akshay/Saif/Mads don’t do some Aarzoo skits ;-)

    That would be unforgettable in a way not envisioned by the Bachchans ;)

    Maybe they can re-live the classic death scene of Saif…STATUE!

    This tour now is no longer Bachchan’s.

    With Akshay, Madhuri, Bipasha and Saif, along with Bachchan trio, this tour is a full fledged bollywood masala show.

    With saif there, I think Kareena may too hop in.
    Ditto with John.

    This makes it more than half the bollywood.

    The tour is really shaping up very well with some diverse talent and stars on the bill. If the tour actually nicks Madhuri to participate for some shows then that would be brilliant.

    LOL!

    The concert will be huge and a crowd puller.With Saif part of the show how can Kareena be left behind?

  9. Comment by Fari on 31 March 2008:

    Oh please leave Kareena behind. Madz and Aish will be just fine for me. :-)
    But I’ll believe this lineup when I see it. Don’t think anyone has confirmed yet except Akshay and even he isn’t going to be there for every date.

  10. Comment by Eire on 31 March 2008:

    Yes, we have to wait for confirmation on this info.
