Grammy award-winning French DJ David Guetta's concert in Mumbai has been rescheduled to 15 January with the organisers saying that they have received the nod from the authorities.
The Mumbai concert was first supposed to take place at Mahalaxmi Racecourse but the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) denied permission. It was then shifted to Reliance Jio Garden but there too it was rejected.
