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 \u2018Thugs of Hindostan.<\/p>\n
Khan is currently in China to promote \u2018Thugs of Hindostan\u2019, which failed to register a strong performance in Bollywood and was panned by the critics.
\nThe movie starring Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif among others was released on November 8 in India and is slated to release in the country next week.<\/p>\n
The fan meet, which was to take place in Guangdong University of Finance and Economics in Guangzhou, capital of south China\u2019s Guangdong Province, was cancelled by the university over the failure to seek prior permission to use the campus, according to a media report, the Global Times reported. According to the Chinese media, the school did not know about the promotional event until Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe message was spread only among a small group of students through social media. The school only knew about it when students talked about the event hours before it was about to take place,\u201d the report quoted an employee of the university as saying.<\/p>\n
However, the Weibo account that promotes Khan\u2019s films announced the school had cancelled the event \u201cunilaterally\u201d as the \u201cthe students were overly enthusiastic\u201d.<\/p>\n
The post angered many students, who said the university did not know about the event at all before Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is obviously the organiser\u2019s fault for not applying to the school to use an on-campus building,\u201d net user Swim Xinzhu, a student from GUFE, said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have held similar events before and there would be no issue if the organiser had reported in advance,\u201d an employee of the university said.<\/p>\n
The organiser\u2019s deputy manager, a Beijing-based film-promoting company, reported the Weibo post by Khan\u2019s film account, saying they were contacting the film crew and the school to figure out what caused the poor communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
