Music maestro AR Rahman and his troupe will be performing in UK in September. The Indian cinema fans will be in for a treat as AR will be joined by Benny Dayal, Neeti Mohan, Jonita Gandhi and Tamil sensation Haricharan in Rahman's UK Intimate Tour. The tour will be showcasing AR's inimitable style and mix of eastern classical music with modern electro, world music and traditional orchestral arrangements.
Benny Dayal will perform a selection of songs as a duet and solo. The singer’s acting debut in 'By The People,' first earned him attention from AR. Now, the singer will be sharing the stage with the Grammy award winning artist. Benny Dayal is known for lending his voice to hit songs from popular Bollywood films, including '24,' 'Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu,' 'Student of the Year' and 'Band Baja Baraat.'
Another familiar face joining AR is Neeti Mohan who has graced Indian TV screens for the past few years – first as a contestant in Channel V’s Popstars and currently as a judge on The Voice India. Neeti made her signing debut five years ago lending her voice to "Ishq Wala Love" in 'Student of the Year,' "Jiya Re" from 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan.'
Also gracing the stage will be Indo-Canadian singer Jonita Gandhi, who sings in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Gandhi kicked off her playback career with Vishal Shekhar in 'Chennai Express' and then in 'Highway' and most recently has been heard in the hit 'Dishoom.' The other artist to join Rahman is
Tamil star Haricharan. After storming the Tamil music charts with his fantastic debut, Haricharan has become a leading artist for Tamil and Malayalam music.
The tour kicks off at London’s SSE Arena Wembley on 22 September, then heads to Birmingham Barclaycard Arena on the 24th and for the first time ever, AR will be performing in Leeds on the 29th and Manchester on the 30th of September.
