India's top film Bollywood stars have hit Hollywood as part of an epic global set of shows.

Bollywood icon Mr. Amitabh Bachchan heads up The ''Unforgettable Tour'', which is set to play at the O2 Arena next month. The cast will be joined in the London leg by Shilpa Shetty.

Speaking at a press conference in LA, Amitabh's son Abhishek joked that so far on the tour "the airlines have been forgettable" after apparently losing half the cast's bags.

Actress Preity Zinta promised that by the time the show reaches England, fans should be in for a treat. "I think London is very lucky because by the time we come there we'll have done at least 10 shows so we're gonna be with it, there's gonna be no goof ups!" she said.

Ritiesh Deshmukh joked he was not quite ready to find out how big the audience will be at the London venue, saying: "I have no idea what the O2 looks like, so when I enter there I'll let my nerves take over then."

Madhuri Dixit, guest starring on the US shows only, said Shilpa's guest appearance in the UK should be exciting: "She's such a sweet person, I've known her for some time and she's wonderful, she's marvellous and she just knows what to do."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said the tour shows a much wider audience is embracing Indian cinema.

"The Western audiences are already very aware of our films and that's really a reflection of society as it is today, the world is smaller and the audience is a lot more international," she said.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
