Back in April, Kevin Hart had hit a pause on the Indian leg of his Acting My Age tour following the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. However, India is back on his radar with the actor-comedian planning a visit in September.

Why was Kevin’s previous visit cancelled
Kevin was set to come to India as part of his World Tour in April. The actor and comedian was scheduled to perform in Delhi on April 30. However, it was called off following the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists.
The update was shared by District by Zomato, with the organisers mentioning that they were in talks with Kevin to reschedule and find a new date for the event.
Kevin Hart is known for his observational and self-deprecating humour. He has performed several comedy specials, including his successful show, Laugh At My Pain. Kevin was last seen as part of the Apple TV docuseries Number One on the Call Sheet.
