Unassuming and pious A.R.Rahman, the Oscar winner, has ventured on a world tour for a cause.

Naming it as “Jai Ho” world tour, Rahman will perform 39 shows in different parts of the world for next five years and handover the collections to a social organization that would spend the money on the welfare of HIV+ children.

The first ever programme of this series was kicked off in Kozhikode, Kerala on Sunday. It is needless to say that the crowd stood mesmerized throughout the programme which happens to be the first one after his double Oscars.

The show had its glamour content with the presence and participation of famous film singers like Chitra, Hariharan, Rahid Ali, Javed Ali, Sayanora and Mohammed Aslam. They entertained the audience with songs from Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil. All said and done, it became a natural instinct for the audience to come on their feet when Jai Ho was performed. Such was the respect for the song and its master.

Rahman was truly touched with the response and respect that he vowed to return to the same stage soon.
