Are You Ready For A R Rahman's India Tour Rahmanishq?

Legendary musician AR Rahman is all set for his India road tour Rahmanishq in October, the first such event in two decades. Rahman said that he keeps getting motivated to make more and more music because of the love he receives from audiences. "It will be an experience of music, great production, joy and fun," Rahman expressed at a press conference.

Interestingly the tour is set to take place in cities such as Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, Jaipur and Ahmadabad. "I always wanted to go to cities you usually don't think of. You generally think of Delhi, Mumbai etc. The idea was to meet fans in these cities", he explained. Before this tour, fans in Australia will get to see a Rahman concert which will be held in Sydney in August.

Rahman who has won two academy awards for his music in Slumdog Millionaire says that his fans' love is what keeps him going. "This is what keeps me going. Their love makes me want to make more and more music," Rahman said at a press conference on his road tour Rahmanishq.

According to the musician, everything has a right time. He says that it is so good that this tour is happening now. Rahman admits that three years back, he didn't even know about his future. At the conference on the tour, he also brushed up on aspects such as ego and failure. He said, "Any true artist will have creative ego, without that your work can't be the best. But you have to be at war with your personal ego."

"If failure comes due to non preparation or lack of work, then you feel guilty. If it comes through destiny then you understand that it just turned out that way," he added.

During Rahmanishq, Rahman will also be joined by other singers like Javed Ali, Neeti Mohan, Shweta Pandit, and Harshdeep Kaur.
