A mid all the cricket action in South Africa, IPL team owner Shah Rukh Khan popped back to India last night to cast his vote and to perform at a wedding.
Apparently , SRK has been paid a whopping sum — Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.5 crore, industry experts estimate — to perform at the wedding of Nikhil Gowani, nephew of bigleague Mumbai builder Kanti Gowani of the Kamla Group.
Rani Mukerji, Bipasha Basu, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jaaved Jaffrey and Pritam will also perform at the three-day extravaganza, says our source.
The whole show is being organised by GS Entertainment and choreographed by Shiamak Davar.
The wedding has two major ceremonies — the sangeet today and wedding itself on May 2. SRK, Rani and Emraan are to perform tonight. Bipasha will perform with Neha Dhupia, Celina Jaitley, Neil and Jaaved on the wedding day. “SRK is supposed to dance to a medley of his songs from Billu, Rab Ne Baba Di Jodi, Veer Zara, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho,” says the source from Shiamak’s dance troupe. “It’s a 10minute performance and he will be joined by Rani in the last sequence.” The show venue is Kamla City, Lower Parel. The invite calls it ‘King Khan night’. However, there is just a possibility that he may be MC for the evening.
SRK had some years ago performed at the wedding of Aditya Mittal, the son of billionaire LN Mittal. He has been quite frank that he acts for love and performs for money .
Considering that his team has been losing, could he be needing the cash?
