Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman on Sunday delivered his first-ever live performance at the Attari border post in Punjab where he paid a musical tribute to the Border Security Force.
Held during the Beating Retreat ceremony at JCP Stadium, the event was titled ‘Jai Ho - A Musical Salute to the Bravehearts’ and came ahead of the release of filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's new film ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’, a cross-border drama which features music by Rahman.
The musician opened the event, which drew thousands of visitors, with his composition ‘Chanda suraj lakhon taare’ before moving into songs from ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’.
‘Maskara’ was performed by Nilanjana Ghosh and Vedang Raina, who plays a young man in pre-Partition India in the film.
