A group of North Indian fans of Rahman had walked out of his concert in Wembley, London in July, disappointed with the back-to-back Tamil songs performed at the concert. Following this, there was an uproar on social media between North and South Indian fans of Rahman.
Reihana, Rahman’s sister, who attended the Wembley concert called the controversy “something new”. She told Silverscreen, “Rahman belongs to Indian music. So, let us unite by music. As a fan of a man who always chooses love over hatred, please don’t spread hate because of this.”
