I want to closely interact with my fans while we celebrate my music at the tour. We are a great prosperous musical nation and tours like these are a great way to rekindle the connect with the audiences on a more personal level," Rahman said from Mumbai.
The live-in concert will be named Rahmanishq. Rahman talked about the euphoria at live performances as a two-way experience in Kolkata and other places.
