Aishwarya’s world tour with Abhishek, Amitabh begins in July

The “unforgettable” Bachchan concert tour featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek, Aishwarya and with Jaya probably being coaxed for a friendly appearance, will begin this July.

Speaking about her first family tour, Aishwarya told IANS: “Yes, it’s on in July and August. It’s wonderful to be on stage with Abhishek and Pa (the Big B). I remember how wonderful it was when we did ‘Kajra re’ at the IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) awards two years ago,” she said.

“That one act featuring the three of us was a rock concert by itself. It was fantastic! Now going on stage as Amitji’s daughter-in-law and Abhishek’s wife would make it doubly fantastic.”

The announcement puts an end to speculation regarding the financial and creative feasibility of this celebration of family bonhomie.

Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar were supposed to join the Bachchans on the tour. They opted out citing lack of time. Now the final list of actors joining the Bachchans includes Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta and Riteish Deshmukh.
