It is a dream for any artiste to perform at UK’s Wembley Stadium. Ayushman Khurrana is no exception. After all, the iconic stadium has witnessed incredible performances by musical legends like Queen, Coldplay, George Michael and Michael Jackson, among others. Come September, Ayushmann will perform at his dream venue where he will be joined by Hrithik Roshan for their series of shows in US and UK.

As an Indian, it is a huge moment for me to perform at Wembley and represent the charm of our cinema to people in the UK.” Ayushmann adds, “I hope we bring the house down at this haloed stadium and give people an experience that they will hopefully remember for a long time!”

Curious connection

If the release timing of Salaar teaser is any indication, it appears that the upcoming Prabhas-starrer has a connection with director Prashanth Neel’s last release, KGF: Chapter 2. For the uninitiated, the teaser of Salaar will be unveiled on July 6 at 5.12 am. Incidentally, in KGF: Chapter 2, Rocky (essayed by Yash) is sailing a ship in a thundering ocean when he is attacked by the baddies. Interestingly, the clock in the backdrop shows the time as 5.12 am. The cast and crew of Salaar have been sworn to keep the connection closely guarded. Guess, we will have to wait till the teaser is released, to know if Yash’s blockbuster and Prabhas’s next are interconnected.
