Russell Brand to do three shows in India?

The last time British actor-comedian Russell Brand was in India, he tied the knot with pop-sensation Katy Perry.
While the Get Him To The Greek actor may have fond memories of the lavish Hindu ceremony that took place in Jodhpur, the marriage was not made in heaven and the duo split after fourteen months. Three years later, Russell is returning to India, but this time, it is strictly business.A source close to the development told Mirror that a top studio has roped in the actor-author to do three shows in India across different cities.

"He's expected to fly down in the last week of June for the Comedy Central Chuckle Festival. He's a livewire comedian known for his risque humour and that's something he isn't going to hold back on," a source said, adding that the organisers are taking all precautions to avoid a fiasco like the one that followed the announcement of Jerry Seinfeld's India visit which was subsequently cancelled. Jaideep Singh, business head of Viacom, the organisers of the event where Brand will perform, confirmed the news.
"We believe in the power of comedy and witnessed great success at the first edition of the Chuckle Festival. We are delighted to return with a bang and this time we have a heavyweight from the world of comedy to lead the show Russell Brand," said Singh.
