It may call for a double celebration this Diwali as Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan gears up to light up our lives this year.
tabloid! has learnt that Khan is charting plans to be in Dubai along with his co-stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma on November 13 for the world premiere of his yet-to-be-titled romance directed by Yash Chopra.
The festive mood doesn’t end with a red carpet call and a movie screening. According to an industry source, the trio will stay in Dubai for another two days to stage a dazzling song-dance spectacle on November 15.
Though the venue and ticket details are yet to be finalised, the show is tipped to be bigger than SRK’s Temptations Reloaded show in 2008 in Dubai, which also featured Kaif.
Ace choreographer Shiamak Davar has been assigned the task of bringing the show together. His troupe, known for their synchronised dancing skills, will join the actors on stage.
Singer Mohit Chauhan — who was earlier slated to perform alongside Salman Khan in Dubai on December 2 — has also joined the SRK troupe.
This could mark a double whammy for Bollywood buffs. Only weeks after Shah Rukh Khan wows Dubai, his arch rival and blockbuster king Salman Khan will take his turn on the big stage. Accompanying the Ek Tha Tiger star on the big night is Don 2 actress Priyanka Chopra. Typically, such shows are as good as a sweeping Bollywood musical and are filled with perfectly-timed pyrotechnics, drama and over-the-top choreography.
Both Khans are no strangers to Dubai and command a massive fan following in this region. While Shah Rukh Khan premiered his sci-fi magnum-opus Ra.One in Dubai. Salman showcased his film Ready with a red carpet call.
Now the big question is: Which Khan will be the king of song-dance spectacles. Dubai, you can sit and judge.
