20 Bollywood stars to go to Pakistan

A score of stars and celebrities from the Hindi film industry will appear on Pakistan Television.

Seizing the initiative from private channels, state-run Pakistan Television (PTV) is all set to create history by holding a nine-hour telethon with 20 top Bollywood stars this month to raise funds for victims of the October 8 earthquake.

Amisha Patel, Shilpa Shetty, Neha Dhupia, Zeenat Aman, Jackie Shroff, Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Aftab Shivdashani, Dino Morea and Celina Jaitley are among the stars who have confirmed participation in the event scheduled for June 25, PTV Marketing Director Khawar Azhar said.

Sri Devi, Boney Kapoor, Dalip Tahil, Prem Chopra and Gulshan Grover will also take part. Efforts were on to bring legendary Bollywood couple Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu to take part in the programme.

PTV has built a special set featuring Mughal architecture as the venue for the programme at a cost of Rs three millions. The income generated would be donated for the special quake relief.
