Amitabh Bachchan
Whereas like it was expected in the first place, IIFA was a great and a very successful award function apart from the fact that there was one event or rather the lack of it that left everyone disappointed.
While the award function went on in Macau in China, there was a buzz at the site of the function that IIFA this year will unveil the first look of Amitabh Bachchan’s upcoming film Aladdin and to mark this special occasion, Mr. Bachchan himself was going to perform at the award function. You may recall that Aladdin is in the news for a peppy number, which is said to be picturized on Mr. Bachchan himself. Probably, those present at the award ceremony anticipated that Mr. Bachchan was going to perform on this very number and will appear on the stage wearing the special dress, which was specially stitched for this song.
But as the award ceremony got going, it was revealed that Mr. Bachchan was not slated to give any such performance.
Sources have now revealed that the director of Aladdin Sujoy Ghosh stuck a deal with the organizers of IIFA that Mr. will perform at function but forgot to inform the same to Mr. Bachchan. When Mr. Bachchan got to know about this news just 15 days before the show, he refused to perform saying that he did not have enough time to rehearse for this performance.
Mr. Bachchan is also said to have called up Sujoy Ghosh and asked for an explanation as why he was not informed about the proposed deal, which he had with IIFA.
Though, Sujoy had no explanation to offer, the real explanation has to come from Mr. Bachchan himself. How is that when Mr. Bachchan is the brand ambassador of IIFA and is so closely associated with the event, he did not know that such a deal was stuck and he was to perform at the event?
