Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha & Ranveer Singh have been sued in the United States court by an event management company as they accuse them of taking money in advance and not performing.
Superstar
Salman
Khan
and
a
host
of
other
Bollywood
artists
including
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.
The
Vibrant
Media
Group
in
its
lawsuit
against
the
Bollywood
artists
and
their
agents
Matrix
India
Entertainment
Consultants
Private
Limited
and
Yashraj
Films
Private
Limited
alleged
"breach
of
contract".
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.
The
show
had
to
be
cancelled
as
Salman
Khan
was
unable
to
leave
India
due
to
legal
troubles
in
Rajasthan.
The
Vibrant
Media
Group
had
agreed
to
postpone
the
event,
the
lawsuit
said.
The
Vibrant
Media
Group,
according
to
the
lawsuit,
recently
learned
that
Salman
Khan
and
the
other
artists,
instead
of
keeping
their
promise
or
even
offer
to
return
the
deposits
they
had
received
for
the
performance.
The
lawsuit
also
mentions
that
the
stars
had
agreed
to
perform
with
another
promoter.
"All
calls
to
Mr
Khan,
his
agents,
and
other
artists,
for
the
return
of
the
funds
have
gone
unanswered," the
group
said
as
it
sought
damages
of
at
least
USD
1
million.
According
to
the
complaint,
Vibrant
Media
paid
more
than
USD
200,000
to
Salman
Khan
in
advance
of
the
concert
to
be
held
at
the
Sears
Centre
in
Chicago
on
September
1.
Katrina
Kaif
was
paid
USD
40,000
and
Sonakshi
Sinha
USD
36,000.
None
of
these
funds
have
been
returned,
it
alleged.
The
lawsuit,
filed
by
Chicago-based
Vibrant
Media
Group
before
a
Northern
District
Court
of
Illinois,
Eastern
Division
on
June
10,
has
been
assigned
to
District
Judge
Sharon
Johnson
Coleman.
Others
sued
by
the
promoter
include
superstar
Akshay
Kumar
besides
singers
Udit
Narayan,
Alka
Yagnik
and
Usha
Mangeshkar.
