This latest announcement from A. R. Rahman about his 'Marakkuma Nenjam' concert has come as a big relief for the hit composer's fans considering many had to go back home disappointed after the event was called off at the last moment a few days back. He wrote on X at the time, "My Dearest Friends …Owing to adverse weather conditions and persistent rains, it is only made advisable for the health and safety of my beloved fans and friends to reschedule the concert to the nearest best date, with the guidance of the statutory authorities. More details on the new date will follow soon!EPI (sic)". 'Marakkuma Nenjam' is set to be a grand event celebrating A. R. Rahman's three-decade-long journey in the entertainment industry, which has seen him redefine the face of music in Tamil and Indian cinema, including garnering fame on a global level.
On the film front, A. R. Rahman is currently attached to several big upcoming Tamil projects starting with Sivakarthikeyan's Ayalaan, which is scheduled to open in theatres worldwide as a Diwali release this November. He is also composing the songs in the Aishwarya Rajinikanth directorial Lal Salaam, followed by Kamal Haasan's KH 234 under Mani Ratnam's direction and Jayam Ravi's Genie, which were announced sometime back.
