AR Rahman Concert Fiasco: Oh No! Composer Vijay Anthony threatens legal action after his name gets dragged in viral video

MUMBAI: Recently the Highway composer had a concert in Chennai on 10th September and fans were furious as the management at the event was terrible and many could not even enter the premises despite having expensive tickets, due to the lack of space and a stampede-like situation. The show’s team has come under the scanner for horrible management. Many women claimed to be groped, injured in the unprecedented crowd while many children got separated from their guardians, causing a horrific turn of events. Rahman himself came to know the news and said he was deeply disturbed to know the horrible turn of events and not only apologized  but also gave compensation to anyone who bought tickets but couldn't make it to his concert.
