SIGNATURE DIWALI GLITZ
Suniel Shetty to Headline Star-Studded “Signature Diwali Glitz” at City of Dreams Sri Lanka
Colombo, Thursday 16 October 2025 — Prepare for an unforgettable Diwali weekend as City of Dreams Sri Lanka presents Signature Diwali Glitz, a three-night extravaganza from 23 to 25 October featuring powerhouse performances and exclusive moments with South Asia’s biggest stars. The spotlight shines brightest on Bollywood legend Suniel Shetty, who will grace the grand finale on 25 October and be a part of an intimate meet-and-greet with guests.
The festivities kick off on 23 October with an electrifying Kathak fusion spectacle by the internationally lauded Kathak Rockers, blending classical rhythm with modern flair in a show that promises to mesmerize audiences.
Adding a touch of sparkle to the celebration with appearances by Nia Sharma, a glamorous Indian actress and model widely recognized by the Sri Lankan audience as the lead of the hit Indian series Naagin Season 4. Renowned for her bold charisma and captivating performances, Nia will join the festivities in Colombo on 24 October, bringing her star power to the Signature Diwali Glitz.
But it is the finale on 25 October that promises to steal hearts: Suniel Shetty, a cinematic icon whose career spans over three decades and more than 100 films, will light up the stage. Known for blockbuster hits such as Mohra, Dilwale, Border, and the comedy cult classics Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri, Shetty’s versatility, charisma, and enduring star power make him a fitting centerpiece for the grand celebration.
Their arrival continues the trend of A-list Indian celebrities choosing Colombo as a destination of choice since the resort’s opening — a testament to Sri Lanka’s rising status as a cultural crossroads between South Asia and beyond. All artists will be staying at the ultra-luxurious NÜWA at City of Dreams Sri Lanka which also highlights Colombo’s luxury accommodation offerings.
Diwali, the festival of lights and renewal, lies at the heart of this celebration. In that spirit, Signature Diwali Glitz brings music, dance, and cinematic glamour under one luminous roof.
Colombo is fast emerging as Asia’s next entertainment hub, and for high-net-worth Indian travellers it holds irresistible appeal. With improved air connectivity, luxury infrastructure, luxury shopping, and a vibrant cultural ethos, Sri Lanka is becoming a preferred short-haul luxury escape. City of Dreams Sri Lanka capitalises on this momentum — integrating world-class hospitality, performance venues, and headline talent to position Colombo as a magnet for elite experiential tourism.
Sri Lanka’s tourism vision is ambitious: to evolve into a premium destination for discerning travellers seeking more than beaches — a place of immersive culture, spectacle, gastronomy, and glamour. With Signature Diwali Glitz, City of Dreams Sri Lanka signals its intent to lead that charge. Colombo has prepared a spectacular stage, and Suniel Shetty, Nia Sharma, and Kathak Rockers will bring that stage to life in Diwali’s most dazzling embrace.
