SALMAN,AJAY, AND ASIN TALK IN MUMBAI
Click above for more movie stills Tired bored and impatient with traditional ways of promoting films, Vipul Shah has thought up a novel method of taking London Dreams to the audience.
Vipul is in the middle of arranging two open-air rock concerts at two
venues Mumbai and Delhi next week, most probably on Oct 27 and Oct 28.
The concerts will feature Ajay Devgan, Salman, Khan Asin in concert
with musicians Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.
The stars will perform in front of thousands of fans amidst the highest and most foolproof security bandobast.
Says Vipul, ''We don't want any security lapses. Our stars will be
completely safe on stage. They will be performing not only to the songs
from London Dreams. We're also looking at staging some of Salman and Ajay's biggest hits.''
Bollywood stars have never gone on stage to perform at live rock
concerts. Vipul corrects that perception, ''Recently a similar thing
happened with Rock On
when the entire cast performed live. Many years ago Mukul Anand got
Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon and Salman Khan on stage for the promotion
of Dus. So these London Dreams concerts will be deja vu for Salman.''
The stars have already started preparing for the two live concerts.
While performing live for Salman is not a new experience, Ajay suffers
from stage fright and has never done concert tours. He is making a
special effort to face the roaring crowds in Mumbai and Delhi next
week. Ajay has been getting used to crowds and feels he can do it.
Revealing plans for the twin explosions in the two metropolises, Vipul
Shah says, ''It will be a huge event in both the cities. I am still to
finalize the venues because we expect a turn-out of at least 3000 -
4000 people. It would be no-ticket free-entry affair, so you can call
it priceless experiences.''
Vipul scoffs at tradition ways of promoting his film. ''In how many
ways will Ajay and Salman be asked the same thing? Salman is invariably
asked about Katrina and Shah Rukh Khan instead of the film. So I see no
point in the traditional media interactions. Besides both the actors
have done enough media in the last two months for their other films.
Since London Dreams is about on-stage experiences the rock concerts seemed like a good idea.''
After the concerts in Mumbai and Delhi, Vipul intends to stage similar live performances in the other metropolises.
