News

By By: Sampurn Wire
Ranbir
Kapoor"s
first
world
concerts,
which
kick-starts
in
the
first
week
of
June
(and
not
in
July,
as
reported
elsewhere)
and
goes
on
till
the
third
week
of
July,
covering
16
cities
in
Europe,
the
US
and
Canada,
would
have
Rishi
Kapoor
co-producing
the
world
event
along
with
the
Moranis.
This
is
the
first
time
that
Rishi
Kapoor
is
actively
involved
with
producing
live
concerts.
Rationalizes
Rishi,
“And
why
not?
This
is
the
first
time
that
my
son
will
be
stepping
on
to
a
live
stage.
I
want
to
make
sure
everything
goes
right.
So
yes,
I"m
producing
and
presenting
the
live
concerts.
With
my
experience
in
live
concerts,
I
know
I
can
be
useful.
I
don"t
want
anything
to
go
wrong
for
my
son."
It
is
being
reliably
learnt
that
Rishi
will,
for
the
first
time,
share
a
public
platform
with
his
son.
Yes,
Ranbir
will
be
seen
dancing
with
his
super-dancer
father
for
the
first
time.
Rishi
tries
to
dodge
out
of
giving
a
categorical
answer
to
that
one.
“There"s
talk
on
this.
We"re
thinking
of
a
retro
section.
We"re
exploring
the
possibility
of
me
and
Ranbir
coming
together.
But
right
now
I
can"t
tell
you
more
on
this."
Rishi
is
also
evasive
on
the
rumours
that
Deepika
Padukone
has
not
yet
been
signed
for
the
shows,
apparently
because
there
would
be
friction
between
Deepika
and
Katrina
when
they"re
together
for
so
many
weeks.
Rishi
says,
“All
I
can
tell
you
is
that
we
have
Katrina,
Priyanka
and
Shahid
Kapoor
on
board.
Deepika
is
likely
to
be
on
board.
She
hasn"t
been
signed
on
yet.
No
Bollywood
concerts
have
happened
abroad
in
the
last
three
years.
Audiences
abroad
were
bored
of
watching
our
stars
perform
the
same
songs
over
and
over
again.
My
boy
has
waited
patiently
for
three
years
until
he
thought
he
was
ready
to
face
a
live
audience.
He
has
turned
down
all
offers
to
perform
at
awards
function.
And
that"s
his
show"s
USP.
When
actors
perform
at
awards
function
these
are
beamed
to
dozens
of
countries
across
the
world.
Therefore
there
is
no
novelty
left
in
watching
a
star
dance
on
stage.
My
son
has
never
been
seen
live."
Besides
the
entourage
mentioned
above,
a
singer
from
Pakistan
is
also
being
finalized.
While
the
first
lap
of
Ranbir"s
world
tour
will
take
him
to
Europe,
America
and
Canada,
the
second
world
tour
expected
in
2011
will
take
Ranbir
to
the
Gulf
and
South
Africa.
