Reports in certain sections of the media suggest that the much-talked about US tour of Rock On 2 featuring cast members Farhan Akhtar, Shraddha Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, and Purab Kohli, has been canned.

The Magik band was planning to perform in Houston, New Jersey and California in mid-October (14, 15 and 16).

But as per reports, the multi-city tour was cancelled because sponsors pulled out at the last minute.

The sponsors were worried after the film's music received a lukewarm response and they were afraid that empty stadiums will follow. A source explained that the Rock On franchise is not perceived as a quintessential desi film, and Indian rock music has few takers in the US.

However, the film's spokesperson explained away the development, claiming that it was a strategic move.

 "It was a strategic decision so that Magik can plan more shows in India," said the spokesperson, who was quoted by a popular daily.
