Akki will perform only selected venues

After much dilly-dallying, the actor will join the Bachchans’ Unforgettable tour, but only at select venues

Akshay Kumar who had opted out of the Bachchan’s Unforgettable world tour due to time constraints has decided to join the tour again , though selectively.

Select act

The actor has been paid megabucks to be part of the tour, which will be held in July and August.
Says an insider from the concert team, “Akshay is back in the Bachchans’ world tour. But he’ll join them only at select venues because that’s all his schedule will allow.”

Adding big names

“Likewise, at other centers, the show’s organisers Wiz-craft are now in the process of roping in B-Town A-Listers who would accompany the Bachchans at various venues as they perform all over the US and later, Europe.

This way, there would be a couple of big surprise guest appearances by marquee names in every city, though the focus of interest would remain Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya,” adds the source.

In musical company

Vishal-Shekhar have been confirmed as a part of the tour. They’ll be accompanying the Bachchans for all their concerts, just like Kalyanji-Anandji used to be an integral part of the Big B’s concerts decades ago.
Vishal-Shekhar have been putting together Abhishek’s album for the last two years and it will finally be ready to coincide with the tour. The album will also feature vocals by the Big B.
