The organisers Sohail Khan Entertainments
and JA Events and the partner organiser
from Nepal, ODC Entertainment on January
19 had jointly organised a press conference
in Kathmandu to confirm Khan's arrival.
However, Netra Bikram Chand Biplav of the
CPN-Maoist, a splinter of CPN (Maoist Centre)
last week had demanded cancellation of the
show and called all the nationalist forces to
unite and oppose against the even saying it
amounts to expansion of cultural
intervention on Nepali soil'.
Some top Nepalese artists and 110 other
singers and dancers from Bollywood were
also expected to be part of the show. An
audience of 30,000 was expected to attend
the show while the tickets were priced
from Rs 3,000 to 30,000. The cost of the
show was reported to mount Rs 50 million.
The tour, which kicked off last year, has
already entertained several cities around
the world, including Melbourne, Sydney,
Auckland, London and Birmingham.
The organisers in Kathmandu said: "The
show is just postponed for further dates
and going to reschedule it very soon.
The CPN-Maoist also attacked the sponsors
of the show, most of them liquor brands.
"In a way, the programme is also
promoting liquor which is not acceptable to
us. We are against all kinds of globalisation
bids, the statement said.
