Dubai: Colombo is about to get a dose of Bollywood royalty. Superstar Hrithik Roshan will be the special guest at the much-anticipated launch of City of Dreams Sri Lanka, South Asia’s first integrated resort, on August 2, 2025.

Roshan—known for his dynamic screen presence, polished performances, and unmatched dance skills—is stepping into the spotlight for this major event. Shah Rukh Khan was originally slotted to inaugurate the plush resort.
