In a shocking turn of events, Salman Khan and actors like Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha, Ranveer Singh and Prabhu Deva have been sued by an Indian-American promoter, which alleged that they refused to perform at a concert in the US despite having taken money from it.
According to the complaint, in 2013 the Vibrant Media Group had hired the artists to appear live and perform at the concert ‘Celebrating 100 years of Indian Cinema’, which was to be held on September 1, 2013.
That show had to be cancelled as Salman was unable to leave India because of his legal troubles in Rajasthan. The Vibrant Media Group had agreed to postpone the event, the lawsuit said.
Not just it, the Vibrant Media has alleged that they paid more than $200,000 to Salman in advance of the concert to be held at the Sears Centre in Chicago on September 1. Katrina was paid $40,000 and Sonakshi $36,000. None of these funds have been returned.
The lawsuit has been filed by Chicago-based Vibrant Media Group before a Northern District Court of Illinois, Eastern Division on June 10.
