Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is likely to attend the grand opening of City of Dreams Sri Lanka on August 02, 2025.

A post on the official Facebook page of City of Dreams Sri Lanka has hinted at his presence, with a silhouette featuring his signature pose, although no official confirmation has been issued yet.

Sources close to the organisers say the actor is expected to be the star attraction at the launch of South Asia’s first fully integrated luxury resort, developed by John Keells Holdings PLC (JKH) in partnership with Melco Resorts & Entertainment (MRE).

The USD 1.2 billion City of Dreams development includes a world-class casino, the ultra-luxurious Nüwa hotel, and a high-end shopping mall, making it the largest private sector investment to date in Sri Lanka’s luxury lifestyle sector.

The launch is expected to be a landmark moment in positioning Colombo as a global tourist and entertainment hub.

The event is likely to attract international celebrities, investors, and global media, marking a significant milestone in Sri Lanka’s post-crisis revival of its tourism and leisure industry.

The National Transport Commission (NTC) says a decision on revising bus fares following the recent fuel price adjustment will be made within the next 02 days.

NTC Director General – Naomi Jayawardena stated that the Commission will convene to finalize the decision.

She added that although the annual bus fare revision was scheduled to take effect today (July 01), it will not be enforced due to the fuel price change since midnight yesterday (June 30).

No increase in school transport or trishaw fares

Despite the increase in fuel prices, key transport unions in Sri Lanka have decided not to raise fares for school children and three-wheeler passengers.

All Island School Children Transport Association Chairman – Malshri de Silva has announced that it will maintain current fare levels.

Meanwhile, Nishantha Kumara, Secretary of the Professional Three-Wheeler Owners’ Association, has also stated that their members will not increase fares in response to the fuel price hike.
