Mirror had earlier reported (July 6) that Salman Khan was prepping up to kick off the UK leg of his Da-Bangg The Tour in UK this September. Besides Sonakshi Sinha, Daisy Shah, Prabhu Dheva and singer-composer Badshah who were a part of the tours in Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand in April, we have now learnt that Jacqueline Fernandez has also come on board. Sooraj Pancholi, whom Salman launched in Hero, and singer Kamaal Khan are other names on the list of performers. Bipasha Basu is no longer part of the tour.

A source close to the development informs, “The concerts will be held on September 16 and 17 at the Barclaycard arena in Birmingham and the O2 in London. The organisers were keen to have Jacqueline share the stage with Salman and she has agreed.”

The duo paired up in 2014 for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kick and are now teaming up for the Remo D’souza directorial that will see Jackie play dance teacher to Salman who enrolls for a dance competition on the behest of his daughter.

Jacqueline confirmed the news. Sonakshi is an integral part of the tour, having featured in the film from which the tour has borrowed its name. There are plans to have Salman and her shake a leg together on their hit numbers besides individual performances. So be ready to be conquered, England.
