Close on the heels of Priyanka Chopra's exit from this year's IIFA, her co-star from 'Kaminey', Shahid Kapoor too has pulled out from the forthcoming award ceremony citing shooting promises.

The 'Jab We Met' actor was to perform with Chopra on the title track of the Vishal Bhardwaj movie, but since the schedule of IIFA was clashing with the dates committed to a producer he decided to miss the ceremony, which starts from June 11 in Macau (China).

"I was looking ahead to performing at IIFA and showcasing Kaminey, however my commitment to my producer has to be honoured," told Shahid Kapoor in a statement.

The dates could not be adjusted as Kaminey, Pathshala & Yashraj Films untitled are ready for release and there is patchwork shoot remaining for Ken Ghosh's untitled movie, said the statement.
Previous, Kareena Kapoor too had pulled out of the show. She had reportedly been practicing for her performance and had also decided on her costume, but bowed out at the last moment to be with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan in London.

While Shah Rukh is shooting for 'My Name is Khan', Salman is currently working on the period drama 'Veer'.
