Music lovers are furious and demanding their money back after AR Rahman didn’t sing enough Hindi songs at a recent concert in London.
Rahman played to a a full house at Wembley Stadium in a concert titled ‘Netru, Indru, Naalai’ ( Tamil for Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow), reported Network 18.
According to The Hindustan Times, the concert-goers walked out when Rahman performed mostly Tamil songs and not enough of his Hindi ones. The angered fans, mostly North Indians, took to Twitter to express their disappointment at the Oscar-winner.
One of the Twitter users however tweeted that he was at the concert himself and the set list of songs had 16 Hindi songs and 12 in Tamil.
At the same time, several other fans of the musician flocked to his defence on Twitter and schooled those complaining how this is a classic example of ‘imposing Hindi’ on South Indians.
Even Rahman’s concert was titled in Tamil.
