Being one of the most popular Indian faces in England has led to Shilpa being signed by the Wizcraft International to join the Bachchan family in U.K. as part of the B-Town stars team in the on going unforgettable world tour.

This world tour has been a hot item in the news circles since the first list of actors who will be adding glamour to the world tour led by Amitabh Bachchan came out in the media.

Some top stars later on decided to opt out of the tour and new ones came in. The media reports on the enter and exit of the stars at a time even laid down doubts whether the tour will be able to stand up to the expectations.

Shilpa Shetty will be joining the other stars such as Akshay Kumar and Madhuri Dixit in selected venues.

The other Bollywood stars who will be seen shaking their legs are Preity Zinta and Ritesh Deshmukh.

The main attraction and the most awaited performance of the tour is the coming together of Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the hit song "Kajra Re" from the hit film 'Bunty Aur Bubly'.

The world tour will start on July 18.
