Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan will be at Global Village on Sunday, the Dubai park has announced.
Khan, 59, will “take over” the main stage at 8.30pm as part of celebrations marking his nearly three-decade-long acting career. His 29 years as an actor coincides with the number of seasons Global Village has been running.
The Pathan actor will dance to some of his songs as part of his on-stage performance as well as engage with the audience.
And, given he's known as much for his wit and charm as his ability to shut down critics and engage with large crowds, visitors can expect to be entertained all round.
Sunday also marks India's Republic Day, and the country's pavilion at Global Village is expected to be decked out accordingly. Entry to the event is included in the Global Village ticket price.
No stranger to the UAE, Khan is a brand ambassador for Dubai Tourism. Images of the star were also beamed on to Burj Khalifa's facade on his 59th birthday in November.
In October, Khan accompanied his son, Aryan, for the launch of his streetwear fashion brand D'Yavol X at Sky 2.0, a nightclub in Dubai Design District. In September, the actor was one of the hosts at the IIFA Awards in Abu Dhabi and took home an award for is role in Jawan.
Global Village is no stranger to celebrity guests and has hosted the likes of American singer Jason Derulo; the late Liam Payne; Emirati musician Hussain Al Jassmi; Moroccan singer Samira Said; Lebanese star Elissa; Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar; and Indian actor Varun Dhawan over the years.
