Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan is leaving no stone unturned while promoting his next movie, 'Happy New Year'.

Directed by Farah Khan, the film is touted to be a musical extravaganza and a visual treat for the audience.

SRK, who is known to have some unique marketing strategies up his sleeve all the time, has come up with a world tour for this film.

The tour, named 'SLAM! The Tour' will have the entire 'Happy New Year' cast including Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah along with the director Farah Khan and singer Kanika Kapoor (of Baby Doll fame) and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh travelling across the world doing 'live' shows. Madhuri Dixit has also been roped in for the tour.

Malaika Arora Khan will also be part of the world tour.

The tour will start from September 19 in Houston and will continue to New Jersey, Chicago, Vancouver and San Jose.

After touring multiple cities in the US in September, the 'Happy New Year' coterie will take to the stage in London on October 5.

The stars will perform at London's O2 Arena.

In the US, Shah Rukh will be shaking a leg for his fans after a gap of 10 years.

"I am blessed to get a lot of love and support from people around the world. This is our way of giving this love back and thanking you all," said Shah Rukh in a statement.

He is "super excited" about the tour, via which the team promises "an evening of love, laughter and entertainment".

'Happy New Year', directed by Farah Khan and produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment, is centered on six losers who set out to change their destiny.

Touted as Bollywood's big Diwali release this year, the film promises to make the festive season 'happier' for fans of Hindi movies, and SRK, who will be seen on the big screen after a gap of over a year.
