Superstar Rajnikanth will join legendary musician AR Rahman on his multi-city tour in Delhi. The power duo will come together for the final leg of the Encore – The concert on December 23 at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex.

The concert will feature Rajnikanth singing on stage with the music maestro for the very first time, and a special addition is being made to the set list that will include a ‘Robot-Sivaji The Boss’ mash-up.

Rajnikanth, who is working with the 50-year-old Oscar-winning musician on Shankar’s mega-budget sci-fi action thriller 2.0, will be felicitating him on his completion of 25 years.

The tour, which encapsulates the musical excellence of two and a half decade journey of the music legend, will bring to life some of his most iconic Bollywood melodies.

The creative genius will also be accompanied by singing sensations Jonita Gandhi, Neeti Mohan, Mohit Chauhan, Javed Ali, Shaashaa Tirupati, Hriday Gattani, and Harshdeep Kaur on the tour.

The massive production will feature a unique and one-of-a-kind stage set up, complete with state of the art paraphernalia for a truly magical experience.

The promoter of the concert, Madhuvanthi Arun of Maham Enterprises said, “I am honoured that Rahman Ji is celebrating his 25 years on the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of my grandfather and doyen of South Indian theatre, late Shri Y G Parthasarathy, who was also the founder PSBB Schools, where Rahman Ji studied. Rahman ji remembers my grandfather very fondly as one person who always encouraged him and this concert will be a personal tribute to my grandfather”.

He added, “Rajnikanth is confirmed to attend the event and we are curating a special segment within the concert for all the attendees as New Delhi will be the grand finale night.”

In the past, Rahman has publicly spoken about his respect and admiration for Rajinikanth and confessed to being a fan and how his films are always special. Rajnikanth has sung a song in 1992 for Mannan and more recently for Kochaidaiyaan.
