Bollywood star Salman Khan is to perform at the Arab Indo Bollywood Awards (AIBA) on May 29 at Dubai's Meydan racecourse, the organisiers have announced.
Khan will appear just weeks after being convicted of killing a homeless man in Mumbai while driving under the influence of alcohol. Khan was jailed for five years but is currently on bail, pending an appeal.
In a statement sent to Arabian Business, the organisers said: "Tickets sales have begun with great response from fans waiting to see Salman Khan and other stars." Media are being invited to send a maximum of three questions each for Khan to answer on stage.
The event is being organised by Benchmark in association with Al Bustan Group. The statement said the event will be "first of its kind that will see over 150 Bollywood stars in Dubai."
Twenty awards are being made, chosen by a jury comprising of Tigmanshu Dhulia, Goldie Behal, Javed Jaffery, Arbaaz Khan, Sreedhar Raghavan, Komal Nahata and Shyam Shroff.
Khan, 49, was convicted by a criminal court in Mumbai of culpable homicide on charges he lost control of his car when driving under the influence of alcohol in 2002 and rammed into a group of people sleeping on a pavement. He had always claimed he was not at the wheel at the time of the accident.
Following his release on bail, it was reported that Khan would be made to surrender his passport. At the time of publishing, the organisers did not respond to queries from Arabian Business.
