“We are sure the theme park with its spectacular rides and attractions will successfully bring the Bollywood experience to life.”

In order to get the best performers available, Dubai Parks Resort alongside Wizcraft has launched a hunt for performers, for a variety of their shows across the parks.

The company is hoping to identify some of the most sought after talent among many entries online.
