Shah Rukh Khan's 'Slam' tour generates great excitement in US

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's
upcoming promotional tour in the US for his film
'Happy New Year' has generated a lot of
excitement not only among his Indian and
South Asians fans but also native Americans.
It is nearly after a decade that the Chennai
Express star is coming to the US to perform
live.
Titled 'Slam' (sound, light, action and movie),
the tour will also have performances by SRK's
Happy New Year co-stars Deepika Padukone,
Abhishek Bachhan, Boman Irani besides Madhuri
Dikshit and Malaika Arora Khan.
"We have been waiting for his live performance
for years now. I become a great fan of his after
my friend forced me to watch 'My Name is
Khan'. He is a great actor," Richard White, who
lives in a suburb of Washington DC, told in an
interview.
Richard and his group of friends have
purchased tickets for the Jiffy Lube Live
amphitheatre, in Virginia, Washington DC, where
the stars would be performing live on
September 21.
The stars will also perform in Houston
(September 19), New Jersey (September 20),
Chicago (September 26) and San Jose in
California (September 28). They will also travel
to Vancouver in Canada on September 27.
"This would be the show of the century,"
Manish Sood of Intense Entertainment, which
will host the event in Washington DC said.
The Greater Washington National Capital Region
though has relatively less Indian-American
population as compared to the other cities, the
event at Jiffy Lube Live is expected to be
watched by more than 10,000 people.
"People from as far as Florida, North Carolina
and Pennsylvania are coming to attend the
event. We are very very excited to hold such a
big event," Sood added.
Organisers and promoters of the 'SLAM! The
Tour' in the US said that the stars have made
incredible effort to make this a memorable
show, which people would remember for years.
Shah Rukh, 48, would have a flying entry into
the concert, said Kanu Chauhan host of the
New Jersey-New York event, which he said is
expected to be attended by nearly 20,000
people. (MORE) LKJ PSH JCH
