A.R.Rahman did not sing live at ‘Lekar Hum Deewana Dil’ concert

Oscar winning music composer A.R.Rahman had tweeted that he was quite excited to perform live. But his live performance in Mumbai after two and a half years was a dampener for his fans, as the composer did not dole out a single live song. The Oscar winner, who has composed the music of the upcoming film, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, was slated to perform at its music launch on Thursday night. A.R.Rahman had earlier performed live in the city before the release of his 2011 film, Rockstar.

As per sources, At this function that was held at a Juhu hotel, A.R.Rahman instead played the piano and introduced the various singers who belted out their numbers from the film. The composer had flown down from New York to Mumbai for the show. About his non-performance at the event A.R.Rahman says, “I always like to rehearse well for my shows. As I had just flown in from the US there was no time for any rehearsals, this is the reason I did not sing at the show.”

‘Lekar Hum Deewana Dil’ has Saif Ali Khan as producer and is directed by debutant Arif Ali (brother of filmmaker Imtiaz Ali).
