Shankar Mahadevan, Hariharan & Anup Jalota decline suggestion to have Tamannaah Bhatia and Nora Fethi’s performance at their concert

by

As a lifelong connoisseur of Indian music, I can say with utmost certainty that the decision made by Shankar Mahadevan, Hariharan, and Anup Jalota to maintain the focus on their craft at the Triveni concert series is nothing short of refreshing. In today’s world where everything seems to be diluted by the addition of flashy gimmicks, it’s a breath of fresh air to see artists who remain steadfast in their commitment to the purity and integrity of their art form.

For decades, Indians have shown a deep appreciation for various music genres. Now, following Dua Lipa and Diljit Dosanjh, esteemed vocalists Shankar Mahadevan, Hariharan, and Anup Jalota are preparing to embark on a multi-city tour across India. A fresh report in the media suggests that they were approached about adding performers Nora Fatehi and Tamannaah Bhatia to their concert. However, the singers decided against this idea as they believed it could divert the attention of their audience.

Overflowing with excitement, I can’t help but share the news that has sent my heart racing! The Triveni: Three Master Performers concert series is coming to India! As an ardent fan of classical music, this event organized by MH Films promises to be a musical extravaganza. The tour will traverse the cities of Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Indore, providing a golden opportunity for fans like myself to immerse in the soulful melodies. I can hardly wait!

Instead, a recent report from Hindustan Times disclosed that the singers were proposed to have Bollywood stars Nora Fatehi and Tamannaah Bhatia join as guest performers at their city concerts. Yet, they turned down this idea since they preferred to keep the emphasis solely on music for these shows.

According to the report, Shankar Mahadevan and Hariharan, during their discussions, emphasized that Triveni’s soul is in its commitment to presenting the richness and majesty of Indian music. They expressed concern that incorporating Bollywood actors might divert attention from the musical journey itself.

Furthermore, these vocalists hold the opinion that any guest performances should feature artists sharing a comparable style in music production. This underscores the dedication of Mahadevan, Hariharan, and Jalota towards delivering an authentic musical journey for their listeners.

Manish, the organizer, arranged the discussions and contacted Nora and Tamannaah’s management teams to check on their availability and learn about their fees for the event. However, in the end, he opted to abandon the plan.

Currently, actress Tamannaah Bhatia is deeply engrossed in her current project, “Sikandar Ka Muqaddar.” This film is being directed by Neeraj Pandey and features Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill alongside Tamannaah.
