Light travels the fastest, but in the case of Bollywood stars it's the rumors!! And as the famous saying goes, “Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” Something almost exact happened recently with actor Akshay Kumar.
The latest release 'Selfiee', didn't proved to be that good for Khiladi Kumar. The flop show of the movie also affected the tour 'The Entertainers Show'.
News was spreading all day yesterday that Akshay Kumar’s shows in USA along with Nora Fatehi, Disha Patani, Sonam Bajwa, Stebin Ben, Jasleen Royal, Mouni Roy, Aparshakti Khurana and Zahrah Khan stand cancelled due to low turnout and poor ticket sales, which later proved to be rumour.
But is this the actual truth???
After digging in, the reality poured out. The Entertainers tour’s New Jersey show was not cancelled but unfortunately called off because the local promoter Amit Jaitley of Sai USA INC failed to pay the national promoter.
The show was not cancelled due to the presence of a large Indian population in the city, who were very much excited about the show, but because of non-payment by Amit Jaitely. Subsequently Akshay Kumar along with Mouni Roy, Sonam Bajwa and Disha Patani will be flying out for the tour tonight.
The rumored story behind that rolled yesterday
As per a statement released by the promoter of the show, Amit Jaitly, the show was scheduled at Cure Insurance Arena, Trenton, New Jersey on Saturday, March 4 will not take place. Amit Jaitly attributed the show's cancellation to the ‘slow sale of tickets’. He added that the show wasn’t appropriately marketed and that they had ‘less than stellar support for marketing from the Tour organizer’. The statement ended with an assurance that those who had booked tickets will be fully refunded.
Unleashing the truth
The entire story was untrue to the core.Only some of the shows stand canceled. However, the rest of the four shows of ‘The Entertainers’ will take place as scheduled. Akshay Kumar and the rest of the actors will commence the tour with a performance on Saturday, March 3 in Duluth, Georgia.
