The venue of a fan meet of Bollywood actor Aamir Khan was shifted to a hotel after a Chinese university denied permission to use its campus to promote his latest movie "Thugs of Hindostan". Khan is currently in China to promote "Thugs of Hindostan", which failed to register a strong performance in Bollywood and was panned by the critics. The movie, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir and Katrina Kaif among others, was released on November 8 in India and is slated to release in the country next week.

The fan meet, which was scheduled in Guangdong University of Finance and Economics (GUFE) in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, was cancelled by the university over the failure to seek prior permission to use the campus, the Global Times reported. Around 350 people were supposed to attend the event. According to the Chinese media, the school did not know about the promotional event until Monday.
