The Bachchan brand is normally the talk of the IIFA’s every year, but it seems this year Abhishek & Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan have both decided to opt out of performing at the IIFA awards taking place later this month in Toronto, Canada.
Ash and Abhishek’s decision seems to have come as a shock to many people, as it has been alleged that they were offered over-the-odds to perform there together. Organisers were hoping the couple would be the highlight of the event, as Toronto is the very same place that Abhishek proposed to his wife during the time they were both shooting for the film, ‘Guru’.
“Abhishek proposed to Aishwarya at Toronto when Guru released, so there was huge pressure from everybody to bring them there again with the focal point that their love blossomed there. Also, the organisers apparently offered them a huge sum to have them together,” a source has told the entertainment press.
However, now rumour has it that Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are being offered the big bucks to perform there.
“Though Salman has not confirmed yet, but he might make an appearance for the sake of Chillar Party (which is meant to be his first production) and Shah Rukh might make it because that might be a good ground for promoting his next super-hero film. However, none of them have signed on the dotted line yet,” the source went onto say.
