Katalyst Entertainment has achieved a feat and created a record of sorts by hosting such comprehensive entertainment program at the altitude of 10,000 feet and such a remote location, with over 250 artists coming in by road, flight and Helicopters. Kailash Kher with his band Kailasa, Badshah, Kanika Kapoor and Bombay Rockers were some of the performances held earlier this week and there are even bigger names such as Katrina Kaif and Siddharth Malhotra, are slated to perform in the days to come.
Some of the other names include, singers Javed Ali, Abhijeet Sawant, Music-director/singer Mithoon, along with a 22 members band featuring singers such Shilpa Roa, Nakash Aziz, Ask King, Tia Bajpai and Models, TV actors & presenters such as Roshni Chopra, Urvashi Rautela, Sana Khan, Surbhi Jyoti, Naura Fatehi, Nia Sharma along with Karanvir Singh Bohra and Hussain Kuwerjerwala and more.
“The location, altitude, approach and logistics, all posed a numerous challenges for us. It was a task to persuade artistes to make the journey from different parts of the country. Just think of it, it takes 20 hours by road from Delhi, or flight to Dehradun, Uttarakhand from elsewhere, followed 14 hours to Auli by road to Joshimath, or 45 mins to an hour by chopper. Thanks to the goodwill we at Katalyst have generated over the years with these artists, they came through despite the difficulties. We’re grateful and fortunate to receive such incredible support, which is leading to meticulous execution of such a rare event,” Nitin further added.
