Big Bollywood concerts shelved due to recession?
Even the biggest stars are affected by the recession, leaving major Bollywood concerts either been postponed or put on hold. Here are some of the largest planned events that are yet to see the light of day.
Live Earth India concert
The huge concert, that was planned to feature the Bachchan family, the Rock On cast and Hritrik Roshan, was supposed to take place on December 7, 2009 but was cancelled due to the Mumbai terror attacks. After that, there has been no news of a reschedule. The official spokesperson from Wizcraft, the company organising the event, says, "Nothing is planned as yet so it's very difficult to say when the concert will go on the floors. The current scenario has made us rethink the concert. However, it is too early to make any comments about this."

SRK's Temptations Reloaded
It was decided last year that a tour teaser would be held in Dubai and Europe. However, the Europe tour was cancelled due to finance problems with the organizers. In the later part of last year it was decided that the tour would be held in 2009 but now there are no sign of it happening. The official spokesperson from the tour says, "Nothing has been planned and with Shah Rukh Khan's injury and the ongoing recession, there are no talks to revive the Temptation Reloaded tour."
