Headlining international shows may be a popular practice among Bollywood stars, but it comes with its share of troubles. mid-day had earlier reported about the Toronto leg of Salman Khan's Da-Bangg The Tour Reloaded being plagued with double-selling of tickets. Now, we hear Malaika Arora, fondly called Malla by friends, who had an event lined up in Australia last week, was compelled to cancel her appearance at the last minute over differences with the organisers.

Scheduled to perform at a fashion event, organised by Elite Vin Productions and Friends India Entertainment (FIE), in Victoria on July 15, Arora was to fly down to Australia on Wednesday. A source revealed, "Passes for the VVIP, VIP, Gold and Silver tables of the Denim & Diamonds event were already sold. While she was set for the performance till Tuesday, she called it off the next day, few minutes before she was to board the flight. The organisers had promised to pay her the full amount before Wednesday. Since they did not honour their commitment, Malaika declined to go. It was a fair and professional call taken by her."
