In August, the Golden Divas Magical Tour was announced as an eight-city concert across the US headlined by Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Raveena Tandon, and Malaika Arora. But with barely a month left to go before the October concerts, a lot has changed. What had been billed as a celebration of Bollywood’s ’90s dancing divas coming together has now been reduced to solo performances by Arora. While Dixit seems to have dropped out of the Golden Divas Magical Tour and is fronting a solo act, Tandon’s involvement remains uncertain.

Sources close to the project revealed that the decision to cancel the joint appearances stemmed from logistical hurdles. A source told mid-day, “Coordinating the schedules and commitments of the three stars was proving nearly impossible. The timelines, venues, and travel made it unworkable.”

Now, Arora will have solo performances in New York, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Miami, and San Diego between October 3 and 12. Dixit, who has been touring select cities in the US since last year, has added a new concert to her calendar — at Boston on November 3. The event, being promoted as An Evening with Madhuri Dixit, positions her as the sole attraction. “This is an added show to her ongoing tour, not part of the Golden Divas concept anymore. But it is with the same production company Worldstar,” the source clarified. 

Meanwhile, there is no word on Tandon’s participation, with insiders suggesting that the actor — who is currently shooting for a yet-untitled film — may not have free dates.
