The eyes have it! Backstage preparations at Wembley ahead of PM's 'show'

November 13, 2015 16:33

After lunch with Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will head to Wembley stadium where he will address 60,000 people.

As thousands of British-Indians have come together to welcome the PM with a cultural show, the welcome reception has been plagued by ticketing issues a few days ahead of the event. Many have posted on social media raising the alarm over the fact that, despite having received their confirmation email for the event, they are yet to receive their tickets from Wembley Stadium.

At Wembley, Modi will be greeted by a peppy new song by popular Bollywood playback singer Kanika Kapoor which will highlight the friendship between the two countries.

'Hello Namaste' has been described as a "festive upbeat Hinglish" number which highlights the UK-India friendship.

Keerti Mathur, the song's music producer, said: "Easy to sing along, this retro feel song with a nostalgic 'Ye Dosti' (Sholay) start and an upbeat Bhangra end will be performed by Kanika Kapoor live at Wembley Stadium next week and is a perfect way to mark this iconic moment which will go down in history." The singer shot to fame by singing Baby Doll for Sunny Leone in Ragini MMS 2, last year.
