Months after spending over Rs 1,200 crore on a lavish three-day pre-wedding celebration in Jamnagar, Gujarat, the Ambanis are hosting another grand bash for Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s upcoming wedding. According to an Indian Express report, the festivities have commenced on a luxurious cruise, with 800 guests sailing from Italy to the South of France and back from May 29 to June 1.

Earlier this year, in March, international pop sensation Rihanna performed at the three-day pre-wedding fiesta, which also featured Akon, Diljit Dosanjh, Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, Lucky Ali, Pritam, Udit Narayan, and B Praak. For the second pre-wedding celebration, American rapper and songwriter Pitbull is set to perform on the luxurious cruise. According to a Hindustan Times report, Pitbull will be joined by Indian singer Guru Randhawa, known for hits like “Lahore,” “Tere Te,” and “Ishare Tere.” The duo previously collaborated in 2019 on the international track “Slowly Slowly.”
Pitbull’s Performance Fee
While the exact amount Pitbull charges to perform at Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s extravaganza is unknown, several online sources and industry reports suggest he typically charges between $500,000 (approximately Rs 4 crore) and $749,000 (approximately Rs 6.25 crore) for a private performance. The fee can vary based on factors such as performance length, production costs, travel, and accommodation.
