Rock Concerts to promote London Dreams

This is very different from the traditional ways of promoting films, Vipul Shah, director producer of upcoming film London dreams has come up with a novice idea. Vipul Shah is arranging two open-air rock concerts at two venues Mumbai and Delhi next week, most probably on Oct 27 and Oct 28, 2009. The concerts will feature Ajay Devgan, Salman Khan, Asin in concert with musicians Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.





The stars will perform in front of thousands of fans amidst the flawless security arrangements. Says Vipul, ''We don't want any security lapses. Our stars will be completely safe on stage. They will be performing not only to the songs from London Dreams. We're also looking at staging some of Salman and Ajay's biggest hits.''

Bollywood stars have never gone on stage to perform at live rock concerts. Vipul corrects that perception, ''Recently a similar thing happened with Rock On when the entire cast performed live. Many years ago Mukul Anand got Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon and Salman Khan on stage for the promotion of Dus. So these London Dreams concerts will be deja vu for Salman.''

The stars have already started preparing for the two live concerts. While performing live for Salman is not a new experience, Ajay suffers from stage fright. But gradually, Ajay has been getting used to crowds and feels he can do it.

It will be a huge event , at the venues a turn-out of at least 3000 - 4000 people is expected. It would be no-ticket free-entry affair, so you can call it priceless experiences. After the concerts in Mumbai and Delhi, Vipul intends to stage similar live performances in the other metropolises.

London Dreams is slated for a 30 October release.

Raveena Tandon Biography

Raveena Tandon : a name that will always be synonymous to the song “Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast”. She is categorized among the top actresses of the 90s and has given some brilliant performances in her career. Today she is married and for the time being acting has taken a back seat for this versatile actress.

Born in Mumbai to famous director Ravi Tandon and Veena Tandon, Raveena derives her name from them too. She has a younger brother Rajiv and her sister in law is Rakhi Tandon (Sweety of Hum Paanch). As a child, she attended the Jamnabai Narsee school in Juhu where she was also the head girl.

Raveena dropped out of Mumbai’s Mithibai college to persue modeling. Though she did a few assignments, she was not too successful in the modeling industry. In 1991, Raveena debuted opposite Salman Khan in “Pathar Ke Phool” which was soon forgotten.

After her alleged link ups with Akhshay Kumar and the subsequent break up, Raveena tried to revive her career with films like “Shool” and “Ghaath”. This was followed by “Daman”, “Aks”, “Satta”, “Stu,ped” etc. her sincerity towards acting could be seen when she won the National Award as the Best Actress in 2001 for playing the tortured wife in Kalpana Lazmi’s “Daman”.

From a club dancer in “Aks” to a surpressed wife in “Daman”, Raveena has made her way into the hearts of her fans through dedication and a lot of hard work. Her growth as a person has been equal.
