Mumbai: Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan was keen to attend British rock band Coldplay's performance in Mumbai on Saturday as part of the maiden Global Citizen Festival India, but pre-production work on his film "Dangal" will keep him away.
Aamir had backed the event since its official announcement and was looking forward to it, but he is tied down by work for his keenly awaited movie, said a source.
The news was confirmed by the actor's spokesperson.
