Rock Stars concert tour didn't flop, say organisers ...

Mumbai, (IANS) The Morani brothers of Cineyug Ltd deny that the Rock Stars 2006 concert tour they organised in countries like the US, Canada and Britain flopped.

Bunty Walia, one of organisers, told IANS: "We are very happy with the way the concerts have gone. I don't know why people are spreading rumours that our concerts Rock Stars flopped.

"This weekend we had a show in Birmingham and now we are done."

So how does Walia explain reports filtering out of various cities in the US about shows going half-empty?

"Totally false! In fact, I'd say these Rock Stars concerts are more successful than the Heat concerts that came before. Except for Amsterdam, where the local organisers cancelled for reasons they know best, we have gone ahead on schedule everywhere.

"Calgary and Orlando are two cities where we voluntarily cancelled before the tour began."

However, rumours of the stars bickering and fighting among themselves are too loud to be ignored. It's being said that Salman Khan is cut up with John Abraham because the latter ganged up with Mallika Sherawat to steal the thunder at each venue.

Walia refutes this vehemently. "All the stars have got along like a house on fire."
