Rahman has put India on the international map and continues to raise the bar each time he sits down to create masterpiece after masterpiece. He’s worked with the finest directors around the globe and composed unforgettable tracks all along his career that now spans across more than two decades.

After marking his debut in 1992 with Mani Ratnam, he is now a household name that resonates with the very word ‘music’. Joining Rahman will be a host of talented musicians who will come together from all over the country. Considering he is well-known for picking out rare gems from the industry, you can expect him and his accompanying team to put on a show of epic proportions. Four, in this matter.
