Ghulam Ali's visit to Mumbai on Jan 29 cancelled

January 27, 2016 20:07

Pakistani ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali's event scheduled to be held in Mumbai on January 29 has been cancelled, however, no reason so far has been given by the hosts for the cancellation.

Earlier, months after his concert in Mumbai was cancelled due to Shiv Sena's opposition, Ali was to attend the music launch of Ghar Wapsi, a movie directed by TV show host-turned-filmmaker Suhaib Ilyasi, on January 29 in the city.

He has sung a patriotic song in the movie apart from acting in it.

Ilyasi of India's Most Wanted fame has requested the state's Bharatiya Janata Party-led government to provide adequate security to the 75-year-old artist during his two-day visit.
