Oscar-winning music maestro AR Rahman recently stirred controversy by sharing a "highlights" video of his Chennai concert, Marakkuma Nenjam, which had faced severe criticism for its gross mismanagement.
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.
The controversy surrounding the concert highlights the importance of accountability and responsibility, especially when it comes to large-scale events. AR Rahman's decision to share the video in the face of ongoing investigations and public outcry has ignited a debate about the role of artists and their responsibility in such situations.
