I have no plans to perform in Pakistan: Lata

london: melody queen lata mangeshkar on thursday denied reports in pakistani media that she would perform in music concerts to raise funds for the pakistan cricket board. "it's kite flying. what have i got to do with (pakistan) cricket. my hands are already full in india. i have no plans to perform in pakistan," she said when asked to comment on the pakistani media report. she said that she had declined once to perform in a concert in pakistan in memory of late singer noor jehan. pakistani daily dawn had quoted organisers saying lata will perform in karachi, lahore and rawalpindi. the formalities of the concert will be finalised after lata returns from europe, where she is on a vacation, the newspaper quoted pakistan cricket board (pcb) marketing director zahid bashir as saying from lahore. dawn quoted bashir as saying that the response to the idea of the concert had been encouraging. "i have a $4 million television rights offer for the live coverage of lata's concerts. i am expecting to sell the title sponsorship at rs 20 million while the earnings from the gate will be around rs 150 million," bashir was quoted as saying. the newspaper said zahid had held discussions with top government officials, who had agreed in principle to give lata state guest protocol. the newspaper quoted zahid as saying that lata wanted to perform in september last year to pay her tribute to melody queen late noor jehan, but things didn't work out then. another indian pop singer lucky ali is scheduled to perform in karachi on july 8, the newspaper said.
