Just as Amitabh Bachchan was getting ready for the Toronto edition of The Unforgettable World Tour in mid July, Bharat Jotwani met with the legend with the news that had to be delivered in person.
"I told him, Mr Bachchan, the Atlantic City concert is several weeks away but we have sold most of the tickets," Jotwani remembers telling the icon. He was referring to over 12,000 tickets sold in less than a week for the August 9 show at the Boardwalk auditorium at Atlantic City. He also told the Big B that tickets for the Nassau Coliseum edition on August 15 were selling out briskly.
"When Mr Bachchan appears on the stage there will always be magic," Jotwani, arguably the most reliable name in star-driven entertainment on the East Coast for over a decade, says.
"But when he is joined by his son Abhishek and daughter-in law Aishwarya there is going to be unprecedented magic. Add to this the music by the phenomenally popular composers Vishal and Shekhar who will sing half a dozen of their most popular songs from such films as Om Shanti Om. And we cannot overlook the entertainment value Preity Zinta will be bringing to the show."
