Catch 'Anirudh Live in KL' on Feb 13

KUALA LUMPUR:  After successfully winning over the hearts of many with his music score for 11 blockbuster films, musician Anirudh Ravichander (pic) is back in Malaysia for his second concert.

The concert 'Anirudh Live in KL' is set to take place on Feb 13 at the Merdeka Stadium with a crowd of 15,000 people being expected.

Tickets for the concert are already available and being sold at RM 383 (special tickets), RM283 (VIP tickets) and RM133 (general tickets).

Last year, the 25-year-old Anirudh held a concert at the Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach on January 31.

The concert was well received and saw a crowd of over 11,000 fans from all walks of life.

Asked how the concert would be different this year, Anirudh said it is going to be 'bigger and better'.

"In addition to my new songs from my recent films, we have planned out a lot of things to make this a great audio visual experience for everyone.

"There are going to be way more acts and I will also be launching my singles at the concert," he said adding that the concert will most likely spill into Valentines Day.

"We have so many things in store for everyone, so bring your valentine or come over to find your valentine and enjoy the concert," he gushed.

Anirudh, who is currently in the midst of his world tour, shared that his return to Malaysia is happening so soon again due to the demands from his fans.

"I was only supposed to come back here again in 2017 but the love I got from the people here rushed me back.

"So many people have approached me and written to me and Malaysia is great, it's like my second home, so I am very excited," he said.

He added that after Malaysia he will take his tour to the United States, India, Dubai and London.

Anirudh Live in KL 2016 is being organised by Team Sound and Light and Click Models and supported by Malaysia Major Events(MME) under the Tourism Ministry.

MME general manager Tony Nagamaiah told reporters that the concert is set to lure 3,000 international fans with an estimated tourism spending of RM30mil.

While thanking Anirudh for inspiring the local Indian musical scene, Tony announced that the organisers will be giving out 80 tickets to a charity home in Setapak.

As a Ponggal special, fans will also be able to enjoy 20% off the concert tickets when purchased this weekend.

Besides Anirudh, the concert will feature local talents such as Rabbit Mac, Switch LockUp, DJ Biggie and Balan Kashmir among others.
