Bollywood superstar and Race 3 actor Salman Khan, Gold actor Akshay Kumar, Simmba actor Ranveer Singh, including Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif, Prabhu Deva and other Bollywood other artists have been landed into a legal battle by an Indian-American promoter, which claimed that the stars refused to perform at a concert in the United State despite having taken the fee amount from them.

According to a report in The Quint, the lawsuit, filed by Chicago-based Vibrant Media Group before a Northern District Court of Illinois, Eastern Division on 10 June, has been assigned to District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman. Meanwhile, other artists are sued by the promoter include singers Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Usha Mangeshkar.

The Vibrant Media Group in its lawsuit against the Indian artists and their agents Matrix India Entertainment Consultants Private Limited and Yashraj Films Private Limited alleged "breach of contract,” reports The Quint.

According to the complaint, 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.

“All calls to Mr Khan, his agents, and other artists, for the return of the funds have gone unanswered,” the group said as it sought damages of at least USD 1 million. According to the complaint, Vibrant Media paid more than USD 200,000 to Salman in advance of the concert to be held at the Sears Centre in Chicago on 1 September.

While Katrina Kaif was paid USD 40,000 and Sonakshi Sinha USD 36,000. None of these funds has been returned, it alleged.
