On Sunday, AR Rahman held a concert ‘Marakuma Nenjam’ at Chennai’s Adityaram Palace. However, a stampede-like situation occurred when reportedly around 50,000 people came to attend the concert.
The videos from his concert are now going viral on social media. In the viral clips, netizens can be heard claiming that women have been molested, and children have been injured at the concert. Some can be heard calling AR Rahman’s team ‘fraud’. Meanwhile, a woman can be heard saying that ‘a 30-year-old fan died in her today.’
People returning after they couldn’t get access to the show. Ladies molested, children’s injured in the stampede, elderly collapsed due to suffocation while @arrahman was still singing with a closed eye shit show and a near death experience for my family #ARRahman @actcevents pic.twitter.com/9xlu5TsqZ8

One of the social media users shared the videos and wrote, “It was the worst concert ever in the History #ARRahman #Scam2023 by #ACTC. Respect Humanity. 30 Years of the Fan in me died today Mr. #ARRAHMAN. #MarakkumaNenjam Marakkavey Mudiyathu, . A performer in the stage can’t never see what’s happening at other areas just watch it.”

horrific planning and crowd management at the Rahman Concert.
was there from 5:30-8:00 & we still couldn’t enter the zone.
zero crowd management, was a stampede at many points.
and when we finally reached our zone, there were no seats available and we were told that it’s full.

@actcevents @arrahman and everybody else involved in #marakumanenjam and #ARRahman live. We need answers, accountability, refunds and much more. The organizing today was pathetic, and not only from an experience POV but dangers to health&safety. Videos attached, thread follows. pic.twitter.com/hf7fnyDVHc

In another tweet, she wrote, “trying so hard to hold it together but i want to crawl out of my skin. every man who harassed a woman today deserves to d!3 a painful death.” One of the social media replied to her tweet and wrote, “He was aware a child was missed in the stampede and yet continued the concert without a follow up! Isn’t his responsibility to at least be empathetic towards the tragedy being faced in HIS concert by HIS fans??!!! EVERYONE CAME FOR HIM !”
