This famous Bollywood rivalry is going to new shores now. After face-offs over popularity in films and on telly, Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan now seem to going head-to-head on world tours.
While Amitabh Bachchan's Unforgettables tour – which will also have Abhiash, Preity Zinta, Riteish Deshmukh, Madhuri Dixit and Akshay Kumar – kickstarts on July 18 in Toronto, Shah Rukh has decided to begin his own Temptations Reloaded tour on June 21 at Amsterdam.
This means the rivalry between the two most powerful Bollywood stars will now go global and with big stars from the industry joining either side, it is now to be seen which tour is able to garner more popularity.
Confirms Mohomed Morani about SRK's show, "Yes we are starting off from Amsterdam on June 21. In the first show, SRK, Arjun Rampal, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Ganesh Hedge will perform."
And which countries are on their itinerary? Morani reveals, "The Amsterdam show will be the curtain raiser for us. A few months later, we will go for the jugular, touring all parts of the world. The media will be informed of dates, stars and venues then." Sources say that a promo of the show has already been shot at SRK's bungalow, Mannat. It has Shah Rukh saying, "The wait is over, I am coming to your city."
The buzz about rivalry between the stars started after Shah Rukh stepped in as the host on Kaun Banega Crorepati and did the remake of Big B's '70 hit, Don. Will the two coinciding world tours add more grist to the rumour mills?
