Farah Khan is all set to shake a leg on stage as part of a promotional tour for her forthcoming directorial venture Happy New Year and says that this will be her first live performance in 25 years.

“It’s going to be a huge concert. I’m going to be dancing too! I will be performing at the concert and it has been 25 years since I’ve performed on the stage,” Khan said.

Before wielding the megaphone for the first time for Main Hoon Na, Khan worked behind the camera as a choreographer and some of her best works include Aamir Khan in the song Pehla Nasha Pehla Khumaar, Shah Rukh Khan dancing on a train top in Chaiyya Chaiyya, Hrithik Roshan in Ek Pal Ka Jeena and Katrina Kaif in hit item number Sheila Ki Jawaani.

The team from Happy New Year — Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah — along with a few other artists, will perform at Slam! The Tour, which is slated to begin on September 19 at Toyota Centre, Houston.

They will then move on to perform at Continental Arena, New Jersey; Jiffy Lube Live, Washington DC; Sears Centre Arena, Chicago; Pacific National Exhibition, Vancouver; and will conclude on September 28 at SAP Centre, San Jose, California, before heading to London as Slam+ The Tour on October 5.

Khan, who teamed up with Boman for her acting debut in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi, says she will perform four numbers, and added: “I will do one dance number with Boman.”

Looking forward to the tour, where Madhuri, Malaika Arora Khan and singer Kanika Kapoor will also set the stage on fire, Khan said all actors will be performing to some of their chartbusters as well as dancing to Happy New Year songs.

Filming recently ended, but Khan is happy that the camaraderie the team developed, is to continue on the tour.

They are all looking forward to having a great time and to giving the international audience an evening to remember.

Happy New Year, a musical heist, is the big Bollywood release for Diwali this year.
