The programme has also been postponed from April 14 to May 3 due to Election. The show is organized by Keraleeyam - Global Kerala Initiative to raise funds for HIV-affected children.

The team already visited the Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium,Trivandrum, the main stage where Rahman was supposed to perform live. They had inspected the venue, the ground and the natural acoustics and were generally satisfied.But In the case of the Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode, Capacity is nearly 70,000,double than Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium + efficient flood lights.

Another fact is,Kozhikode is easily accessible to those in big cities like Coimbatore, Madurai, Bangalore and Mangalore.

‘We don’t know what Rahman has in mind, this is the first show after the Oscars. He would definitely want to give this show a completely new feel, something that has never been experienced before. He might even have a unique theme for the show. It’s Rahman, anything is possible,’’ Shailesh, who was in charge of production, said.

`Normally, a Rahman show will have ten big singers and 40-odd musicians. However, for this show, we feel it might be bigger. We will get a clear idea after we meet the man himself,’’ he added.

Jai Ho…Calicut
