The ceremony has been cancelled after a series of terror attacks through Paris on November 13, which left 129 dead and hundreds injured. After the incident, a state of emergency was declared in the country.



A spokesperson from the the unit of Tamasha said, "We are sad and shocked to learn about the terrorist attacks in Paris. Our condolences to the people who have suffered in this incident. We stand with the French Embassy and tourism department in this moment of crisis."

Insiders from the team of Tamasha have informed that the celebrations have all been scrapped due to the turn of events. Tamasha has been shot extensively in Corsica, a tiny island off the coast of France, for which the embassy had wanted to thank the makers of the film.
