Uh-oh: Himesh Reshammiya
A new chapter has been added to the Himesh Reshammiya-Sonu Niigaam war.

The singer-music director duo has been at loggerheads for a long time, but an incident that took place at The Incredibles show in Washington (USA) over the weekend has now brought the hostilities out in the open.

On Saturday, a spectator disrupted Sonu's performance when he started distributing audio CDs of Reshammiya's upcoming film Aap Kaa Surroor:

The Moviee – The Real Luv Story in the middle of his act! It turned out that the culprit was a staff member of Washington resident Vijay Taneja, who is producing Reshammiya's film.

Surprisingly, Taneja is also the promoter of The Incredibles show, of which Sonu is the star!

Publicity hungry

Yeh ho nahin sakta! Sonu Niigaam
Says an eyewitness who was part of the audience, "Sonu and his father were paying tribute to Mohammed Rafi when a man suddenly got up from his seat and started throwing CDs of Aap Kaa Surroor in all directions!

The crowd got disturbed. Some of them ducked to avoid being hit by the flying CDs while some tried to catch them."

Seeing this disturbance, Sonu lost his temper and asked the person to leave the concert immediately.

When he didn't, Sonu called the security to make him leave.

On seeing the security guards coming towards him, the man fled.

People close to Niigaam suspect this is Reshammiya's ploy to kill two birds with one stone: publicise his film and disrupt Sonu's show.

Strong support

When we touch base with Sonu, he blasts Reshammiya saying, "This is not done. This is no way to publicise a film.

If it were done before the show at the entrance of the hall, it would have been fine, but how can I tolerate it when something like this is happening during my performance?

My father and I were paying a profound tribute to Rafi saab when this staffer from Taneja's office started throwing CDs at the teary-eyed audience and disturbed the atmosphere."

Niigaam says that when he shouted at Taneja's staffer, the crowd supported him. "They cheered for me when I lambasted the culprit and had him thrown out.

Their support had to be seen to be believed, after all, they had paid a big sum to hear us (Asha Bhonsle, Kunal Ganjawala, Kailash Kher and Sonu) sing. They were not there to have CDs flung at them."

His Himeshness and Vijay Taneja were unavailable for comment.
