/> For the first time Amitabh Bachchan shares details on The Unforgettables world tour that begins next week.

The Unforgettables tour is around the corner. How long would you be away and to which parts of the world will it take you?
We shall be away for about six weeks.We'll perform in UK, USA, Canada, Trinidad and Holland.

There was a lot of speculation on who were to accompany your on the tour this time, Are you pleased with the final list of performers? And just for the record, who are they?

There was never any speculation from our side. It 's Akshay, Preity, Ritesh, Shilpa, Madhuri, Vishal-Shekhar and their band, Shiamak Davar's Troupe, and of course the three of us.

You've been on innumerable world concerts, in fact you pioneered the on-stage avatar of India's entertertainment industry. How different is performing on stage today as compared to the 1970s or 80s?
Its frightening ! Was then, is now. The whole mechanics of shows have changed. They have become technically savvy, more organised, better presented and certainly their frequency has increased.

For me individually, the clientele has aged and I wonder how the present generation will take to my presence. But I am the only oldie in the group so thankfully I could hide behind the younger lot.

This concert is doubly special because Aishwarya joins you and Abhishek. Would it be more difficult this time to live up to expectations?
Living up to expectations is always a great worry and apprehension is mammoth. This time would be no different.

Would you, Abhishek and Aishwarya perform the by-now legendary Kajra re on stage?
Yes we will.

I know you've been rehearsing hard. How have you found the time to do so. And would the month-and-a-half long concerts be a huge pressure on your time?
We rehearse after the other commitments of the day are over. Mostly we are all there till past midnight. Commitments are made after due planning and we will follow what has been planned.

Finally how anxious are you about going on stage this time with your family?
I am always anxious. This time will be no different.
