Orlando Bloom's e-visa was rejected.
New Delhi:
Lord of The Rings actor Orlando Bloom was reportedly deported from India after his e-visa was rejected on December 19, reports the Mumbai Mirror. The Hollywood star came to India on Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh's invitation and had planned to spend the Christmas here.
The Troy star had arrived in New Delhi on Saturday by a 1.30 am flight, however he was sent back to UK by a 4 am flight. Sheetal Talwar, who has produced Romans, starring Mr Bloom, told Mumbai Mirror: "Orlando requested the officer to allow him some time to sort out the issue since he also had a stomach bug. The doctor on duty was summoned to attend to him but soon after, he was asked to leave. The officers also threatened that the flight wouldn't leave unless he was on it."
The reasons for the rejection has not been disclosed, but a new visa has now been issued to Mr Bloom, who is expected to fly back on December 20.
Meanwhile, Amar Singh said: "Orlando's office was never informed that the visa has been rejected for whatever technical fault."
