Disco Dancer: The Musical, a homage to Bollywood of the 1980s and the spirit of the
Mithun Chakraborty starrer after which it is named, premiered on Friday at the NSCI dome in Mumbai.
The event was a starry affair, with Disco Dancer Mithun Chakraborty walking the red carpet with son Namashi, along with a galaxy of entertainers, from Bollywood star
Suniel Shetty, the show's presenter, who came with son Ahan, to the music directors Salim-Suleiman and
Anu Malik, actors
Arshad Warsi, Sunny Leone with husband Daniel Weber, and
Neil Nitin Mukesh, and playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan among several others.
The stage musical, which brings back
Bappi Lahiri's cult classics in a reimagined score by Salim-Sulaiman, has been put together by Shetty and the music company, Saregama.
