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.

Now, in a viral video, a woman claims that the entire concert fiasco was orchestrated and music composer VIjay Anthony had a hand in it. Many fans slammed the composer. The latter has now broken his silence in the matter and threatened legal action against anyone spreading lies against him.
He shared a note on X that read, “With sadness in my heart, I am writing this letter to put a full stop to the ongoing controversy. A sister in her YouTube channel has been spreading lies about me and my brother AR Rahman. They are absolute lies. I am going to file a defamation case against them.”
