Legal Trouble: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar Sued For $1 Million
Here’s shocking news for all Bhaijaan fans. An Indian-American company has sued Salman Khan along with Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar among others for breach of contract...
Salman Khan,
Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, and Prabhu Dheva
have been sued by an Indian-American company for breaching a contract. Reportedly,
the actors refused to perform at a US concert despite having taken money. The
lawsuit, filed by Chicago-based Vibrant Media Group before a Northern District
Court of Illinois, Eastern Division on June 10, has been assigned to District
Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman.
Others who have been sued include the names of B-Town singers like Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Usha Mangeshkar. The Indo-American company filed the lawsuit against the Indian artists and their agents Matrix India Entertainment Consultants Private Limited and Yashraj Films Private Limited alleged “breach of contract”.
According to the lawsuit, in 2013 the Vibrant Media Group had hired the artists to appear live and perform at the concert ‘Celebrating 100 years of Indian Cinema’, which was to be held on September 1, 2013. That show had to be cancelled as Salman was unable to leave India because of his legal troubles in Rajasthan. The Vibrant Media Group had agreed to postpone the event.
Reportedly, the group in question paid more than $200,000 to Salman in advance of the concert to be held at the Sears Centre in Chicago on September 1. Katrina was paid $40,000 and Sonakshi $36,000. None of these funds have been returned, it alleged.
It also suggests that Salman and other artists, instead of keeping their promise to it or even offering to return their deposits, have agreed to perform with another promoter. The group revealed in its statement said, “All calls to Mr Khan, his agents, and other artists, for the return of the funds have gone unanswered.”
Well, let’s
wait and watch to see how the actors react.
