IPL 2024 Live Opening Ceremony: How to watch Akshay Kumar, AR Rahman, Sonu Nigam Streaming Online, TV, Mobile

<p>Double Oscar-winner and musician AR Rahman is admired and adored by millions of fans in India and abroad. Hailing from Chennai (erstwhile Madras), Tamil Nadu, Rahman, is lovingly known as the 'Mozart of Madras'. Given that the artist only performs in a city once every&nbsp;few years, there is a massive demand and enthusiasm for his live performances.&nbsp;However, several fans who attended AR Rahman's Chennai concert on Sunday evening have horror stories and worst experiences to recount on social media. These range from molestation, stampede-like situations and no seating arrangements to&nbsp;ticket-holders not being allowed into the venue, serpentine queues, massive traffic snarls, improper parking arrangements and even poor-quality audio</p>

<p>Diehard fans of AR Rahman, who had attended the concert and spent as much as INR&nbsp;5000 ($60.3) per ticket, have been lashing out at the Oscar winner for the shameful experiences that they were subject to at the venue.</p>

<p>In the run-up to the concert on Sunday evening, the two major highways leading to the venue — East Coast Road and Old Mahabalipuram Road, were choked with traffic. Those who reached the venue with valid tickets were denied entry, owing to overcrowding. Vehicle parking was another major hassle, according to those who attended the event. Hundreds of people with valid tickets were denied entry and forced to gather near the gates, thereby leading to a stampede-like situation, where women were molested, and children and the elderly suffered in the melee. There were even reports of children going missing in the crowds.</p>

'Molestation, stampede-like situation': Fans slam AR Rahman for shoddily-run Chennai concert

<p>Indian music composer AR Rahman expressed his disappointment at the widespread use of Artificial Intelligence as it takes over all spheres of our lives. Sharing a video on Twitter, AR Rahman shared his displeasure at the excessive use of AI in schools. The video shows school kids using AI-powered headbands in a primary school in China.&nbsp;</p>

<p>AR Rahman wrote, “I pity the new generation…..are they blessed and cursed at the same time?….only time will tell. #ethicaluseoftechnology #ethicaluseofpower #ai #messingwithnature.”</p>

<p>The video was originally shared by The Wall Street Journal. It shows surveillance of students with the help of gadgets using AI technology. These students are seen wearing a headband that is tracking their attention level which will eventually be converted into reports. These reports allow teachers and guardians to understand the kids' learning capabilities efficiently. The blue light on the headband indicates that the student is distracted, white means offline.</p>

Indian music composer AR Rahman expressed his disappointment at the widespread use of Artificial Intelligence as it takes over all spheres of our lives. Sharing a video on Twitter, AR Rahman shared his displeasure at the excessive use of AI in schools. The video shows school kids using AI-powered headbands in a primary school in China. AR Rahman wrote, “I pity the new generation…..are they blessed and cursed at the same time?….only time will tell. #ethicaluseoftechnology #ethicaluseofpower #ai #messingwithnature.” The video was originally shared by The Wall Street Journal. It shows surveillance of students with the help of gadgets using AI technology. These students are seen wearing a headband that is tracking their attention level which will eventually be converted into reports. These reports allow teachers and guardians to understand the kids' learning capabilities efficiently. The blue light on the headband indicates that the student is distracted, white means offline.

'Blessed or cursed?' asks AR Rahman on video showing Artificial Intelligence use in China school

<p>Over the years, AR Rahman has delivered multiple chartbusters in his musical career. The Oscar-winning music composer is considered one of the best in India. The music maestro recently opened up about why he is doing less work in Bollywood films. Rehman has recently composed the music for Sushant Singh Rajput's last movie <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dil-bechara-review-sushant-singh-rajput-makes-you-celebrate-life-in-his-final-film-315826">'Dil Bechara'</a>.</p>

<p>While speaking to a radio channel, Rahman responded to the question why he is doing less work in Bollywood as compared to the south, ''I don’t say no to good movies, but I think there is a gang, which, due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumors,'' he said.</p>

<p>"When Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He told me, ''Sir, how many people said don't go, don’t go to him and they told me stories after stories.' I heard that, and I realised, yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less work in Hindi films and why the good movies are not coming to me. I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are harming.''</p>

<p>He further added, ''People are expecting me to do stuff, but there is another gang of people preventing that from happening. It is fine, because I believe in destiny, and I believe that everything comes from God. So, I am taking my movies and doing my other stuff. But all of you are welcome to come to me. Make beautiful movies, and you are welcome to come to me.''</p>

<p>Rahman's earned two Oscars from his music in the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' (2008), he is also known for composing soundtracks for films like 'Swades', 'Dil Se', 'Guru', 'Rockstar'.</p>
