NEW DELHI: Rising Bollywood starlet Sunny Leone, and leading Bollywood crooner Mika Singh, have announced a joint concert tour that will take the US and Canada by storm later this summer.
The as-yet untitled tour will visit the major cities in North America this August, with both headliners tweeting over the weekend that they’ll be westward bound in just a couple months’ time. Also accompanying the pair are Miss India Internationals winners Amruta and Akasa.
Full tour dates have not yet been announced, but the pair will be coming to Washington, DC on August 8, and will be Houston, Texas on Indian Independence Day, August 15.
Tickets are currently priced at various levels, ranging from under $40 for the most basic, to $500 for the VVIP-caliber passes, which presumably allow purchasers the chance to meet and interact with Singh and Leone. Other ticket prices are $50, $60, $75, $100, $125, and $200.
Leone, a former Indo-Canadian porn star, burst onto the Bollywood scene just two years ago, with her performance in the erotic thriller Jism 2. The film was panned by critics, but did well at the box office, and Leone has subsequently become a hot commodity in B-town. Her most recent release, Ragini MMS 2, dominated the box office and is one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year so far.
Singh is best known as the younger brother of singing legend Daler Mehndi, but has transformed into an accomplished singer in his own right. After making a big debut with the song “Mauja Hi Mauja” in 2005’s Jab We Met, he has sung hit songs like “Subha Hone Na De” (Desi Boyz), “Pungi” (Agent Vinod), “Chinta Ta Chita Chita” (Rowdy Rathore), and, most recently, the smash hit “Gandi Baat” (R… Rajkumar).
