The concert, held on September 10, had received a wave of backlash, leading to police registering cases against an official of ACTC Events, the concert's organizer, and two others. They were charged with overselling tickets, breaching trust, and causing significant inconvenience to attendees.


In a move that sparked further outrage, AR Rahman took to Twitter to post the video from the controversial concert, albeit with the comment section disabled. However, this didn't shield him from criticism as fans used "quote tweets" to express their disappointment. Many accused him of being tone-deaf and insensitive for sharing a celebratory video from an event where several women had alleged instances of molestation.
