Sonu forces Bunty Walia out of world tour

The Asha Bhosle, Sonu Nigam, Kunal Ganjawala, Kailash Kher world tour titled 'The Incredibles', set to kick off on May 10 covering 15 cities in the US, Britain and Canada, has got into trouble because Sonu apparently demanded more prominence in the publicity campaign than singing diva Asha.

Organiser Bunty Walia, who took on the egotistic Sonu arguing on Asha's behalf because of her seniority and status, has now been ousted out of the final entourage that would accompany the singers.

Apparently, Sonu gave the concert tours' international organisers an ultimatum.

"Sonu made it clear he'd go for the concert only if Walia was dropped from the entourage," says a source. "The promoters had no choice but to comply since big money had been spent on promoting and marketing the tour."

Walia didn't wish to comment on the issue beyond saying: "Yes it's true. I'm not accompanying 'The Incredibles' concert. That's the name I gave to the concert. I'll probably be taking my wife (actress Suman Ranganathan) for a holiday instead."
