ANIRUDH - FROM CHENNAI TO BANGALORE TO DELHI TO ENGLAND TO CANADA

Tamil cinema’s youngest rockstar, Anirudh, is currently making his Canadian fans very happy! The youngest music composer in the industry arrived in Toronto earlier this week and participated in an official “Meet & Greet Anirudh” event on the night of December 10, where he personally met and posed for pictures with his most ardent local fans. The meet & greet event was part of Anirudh’s first ever Canadian concert which will be taking place in the Toronto area this Saturday, December 12.

Before posing for a string of priceless selfies with his doting fans, he spoke to the media and crowds about what a whirlwind year 2015 has been and that Canadian audiences can expect a unique, rocking show on Saturday that has never been seen before in the realms of Tamil music.

“We’re trying to do something new. It’s going to be a different type of Thamizh concert…almost like a Thamizh EDM show (electronic dance music)” , he explained cooly. Exhibiting his camaraderie and encouraging nature he also praised and spoke highly of the many Canadian artists and his "fellow YouTubers" who will be performing with him on Saturday, as well as enjoyed some of their unplugged performances of his songs shortly before the picture sessions began. He even happily answered some personal questions from the crowd, even those related to his relationship status (“it’s complicated”)!

Arya Canada, the producers of this weekend’s events were extremely grateful to the ultimate VIP for honouring his commitments and sticking to his travel plans amidst the Chennai floods. In fact, the event’s MCs explained how, due to the rains, Anirudh had to travel from Chennai to Bangalore to Delhi to England to Canada just to reach in time for his commitments! In a grand gesture on the parts of both Anirudh and the concert organizers it was officially announced that proceeds from both parties from this weekend’s concert would be donated to assist with relief efforts in Chennai.

Kudos to Anirudh for his professionalism to maintain his commitments despite the troubling floods in Chennai and for his consistently friendly demeanour with his fans!

The first ever “Anirudh Live in Toronto” concert takes place this Saturday December 12 at the Powerade Centre.
