Bachchan, Aishwarya world tour postponed due to wedding

The eagerly-anticipated 'One Amazing Night' world-tour featuring Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan with Aishwarya Rai, plus a host of top notch stars, has now been postponed from August-September 2007 to mid 2008.

Confirming this rather surprising development, Amitabh, told IANS: "Yes, we've to shift the proposed concert to next year because of Abhishek and Aishwarya's wedding. They've a jam-packed schedule this year. With the wedding also happening it would be impossible for them to leave for two months. We've to give them time to finish their other commitments.

"This year they don't even have time for any rehearsals. That apart, the concert tour plans remains unchanged. It's still the three of us, plus a lot of our colleagues."

Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra are some of the stars who would be accompanying the Bachchans for the world tour, designed as the most spectacular staged event from the Mumbai film industry of all times.

Amitabh, now busy with Rituparno Ghosh's "The Last Lear", says: "I don't know about that. But we'll certainly work towards making it a memorable experience. Right now we all have other things to worry about, including the wedding."

Fresh dates for the Abhishek-Aishwarya marriage continue to be speculated in the media.

"We don't know where these dates come from. Media persons, astrologers and numerologists seem to know more about our plans than we do! As far as we are concerned, we still haven't zeroed in on a date for the wedding."
