Setting aside their reported rivalry, Bollywood studs Salman Khan and John Abraham are all set to take part in a three-day Bollywood extravaganza in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Global Indian Film Awards programme started Thursday with the premiere of Babul , starring Salman, who is also hugely popular in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Middle East.
A highlight of the movie is the title song by mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan , who plays the progressive and fun-loving father whose daughter-in-law – played by Rani Mukherjee – becomes a widow.
Bachchan's son, Abhishek Bachchan is expected to attend the ceremony.
The Bollywood stars will play a celebrity soccer match with Malaysian artists and government ministers on Friday, followed by a fashion show and charity dinner.
On Saturday, the show will end with an Oscar-style awards presentation in 32 categories at the Bukit Jalil stadium.
This is the second annual GIFA programme. Last year the awards ceremony to honour Bollywood stars was held in Dubai.
