*Mumbai: *After Hrs has learnt from industry insiders that AR Rahman is teaming up with international artistes he has worked with in his musical career so far for his upcoming world tour in which he will travel to 39 cities in the next 5 years. DNA Sources say that for the show in the US, Rahman is expected to perform with the American pop girl group Pussycat Dolls with whom Rahman has recently collaborated for Jai Ho! (You are My Destiny). Rahman is also apparently planning to extend an invitation to renowned composer Andrew Lloyd Webber to be present during the concert in US or UK. The double Academy-winning composer had teamed up with Andrew in 2002 when he composed for his maiden stage production, Bombay Dreams. The other tentative names on his list of guest artistes are Finnish folk music band Varttina for whom he did the music for the theatrical production The Lord of the Rings, and Vanessa Mae could also be part of his tour since he has worked with her when he composed the song Raga's Dance. Also, there's Karen Shenaz David with whom he had teamed up for the theme of Provoked. Further to several attempts, Rahman did not revert back with any confirmations. *Did you know?* Rahman launched his mega world tour at Kozhikode where he held his first show in front of over 40,000 music lovers and belted out popular hits from Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam movies. The proceeds of this tour will be given to support HIV-positive children.
