DUBAI // Bollywood superstars and leading Indian singers are expected to attract tens of thousands of fans to the Dubai International Cricket Stadium next week.

The film idol Salman Khan, the latest Bollywood pin-up Katrina Kaif, the South Indian dancing sensation Prabhu Deva and many others will be part of the two-day event starting on Tuesday at Dubai Sports City.

Day two, "Dreamz 2009", will feature special performances by Khan, Deva and Kaif.

Organisers expect a sell-out audience of 30,000 Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and other Asians, as well as many Emirati fans.

Khan, often known as the "Bollywood bad boy", has a massive following among Asians in this country as well as his homeland. His latest films, Wanted and London Dreams, went down especially well with audiences in the UAE.

Kaif also has strong fanbase here after a string of recent hits including Singh is King and Namaste London.

Other stars, such as Celina Jaitley, Neha Dhupia, Tanusree Dutta, Nitu Chandra, Reema Sen, Negar Khan and Mumait Khan will also perform.

The veteran actress Sridevi will be the special guest for the evening, and Boman Irani and Mona Singh will anchor the show.
