Shah Rukh's Dubai show cancelled


"Kareena Kapoor's filming schedule clashed with the Dubai date and Shah Rukh has refused to perform without her," a source told tabloid!?

Khan and Kapoor both star in superhero flick Ra.One, set for an October release. Organisers had earlier said that the Dubai event fit perfectly with the actor's global promotional tour schedule for the film. Actor Arjun Rampal, who is also in the film, has also dropped out.?

The stars were slotted for the grand finale show called 'We R.One'.?

Actors Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Malaika Arora Khan will take their place, organisers have announced. The rest of the events during the five-day festival featuring American rapper 50 Cent and a host of Arab, Iranian, Filipino and Indian artists, will go as planned.?

"It is a huge disappointment for us. As 'We R.One' is a complete show in itself with roles for each performer, the unavailability of even one artist would result in an incomplete experience for the fans. This is something which both, Shah Rukh Khan and Citron (the owner of the event), prefer to avoid at all costs," said Radhesh Menon, the project director of Shoppiesta.?

"We are confident of bringing the concert to Dubai post Shoppiesta. Our talks are progressing very positively and plans are afoot to organise a grand standalone show."?

Shoppiesta, which has been promoted as a consumer fair, will also feature shopping kiosks, adventure sports arcades and a host of other entertainment and lifestyle attractions at Meydan, according to organisers. Tickets to the fair and the concerts will be sold separately from August 15.?
