Sonakshi to open for Justin Bieber in Mumbai

Actress Sonakshi Sinha will open for singer Justin Bieber during his Purpose World Tour concert in Mumbai in May, she said on Monday.

“I am really fond of Justin Bieber’s music and I love how his sound has evolved over the years and today he reaches out to a universal fan base. I’m definitely looking forward to this event,” Sinha said in a statement.

The Lootera actress is currently working on a new single and intends to launch it at the concert.

Arjun Jain, Director, White Fox India — the promoter of the tour, said: “We are looking at very innovative opening acts for the Bieber concert and we would love to have Sonakshi to be a part of it. It’s too preliminary to confirm anything but the discussions are underway.”

The 22-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter is expected to perform hits such as Where Are You Now, Boyfriend, Love Yourself, Company and Baby.

Bieber’s latest jaunt is in support of his fourth album, Purpose.

The singer will perform in Dubai on May 6.
