AR Rahman organised a devotional soirée at his Dubai residence where he was seen enjoying Hare Krishna Kirtan.
Oscar-winning composer and singer AR Rahman has a huge fan base. The music maestro in his career has given music a new definition over the years from exceptional songs to soul-stirring songs which have gained not just accolades but ephemeral joy for admirers. While his songs give much solace and people continue to celebrate his talent, AR Rahman who is one of the wealthiest composers, hosted a Hare Krishna kirtan at his Dubai residence and the video went viral in no time.
In the clip, AR Rahman can be seen capturing the performance as the artists were engrossed in devotional songs dedicated to Lord Krishna. The clip also captured AR Rahman briefly smiling and bobbing his head gently to the melodic tune of the Bhajan. The video was possibly captured in the living room of his house and one could see a large gathering of people joining AR Rahman.
Take a look:
Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman, who is revered in the music industry, had found himself caught amidst another controversy since the release of the movie Pippa. Recently, the musical maestro was criticised on social media for launching and promoting during the Chennai floods due to Cyclone Michaung.
On Tuesday, Cyclone Michaung battered the South Indian coastal cities with intense winds and torrential rains which led to floods and killed at least 13 people. Villages and roadways are submerged in water, electricity has been cut off from many places and the rescue relief teams have been on their toes to save lives. The ‘severe’ category cyclone made its landfall near Bapatla in Andhra Pradesh. People on social media have been updating about the status of the state and seeking help. Meanwhile, AR Rahman’s timing of his promotion of the song had irked social media.
Previously, the singer came under fire after social media slammed him for using a rendition of Bengali poet Mr Kazi Nazrul Islam’s patriotic song Karar Oi Louho Kopat for the movie Pippa. The producers apologised by releasing a statement on social media and clarified that it was an artistic interpretation and they had acquired all the necessary rights “the estate of the Late Mr Kazi Nazrul Islam”.
