Music composer AR Rahman broke his silence after the Pune police stopped his show midway recently in the city. The show was stopped as it went past the permissible time of 10 pm. Taking to Twitter on Monday, AR Rahman shared a video from his concert as he performed on stage along with his fellow singers and musicians. The video also featured a police officer on stage while AR Rahman performed.

The words 'thank you Pune for all the love and euphoria' were written in the video. AR Rahman also wrote on the clip, "By the way we had a rockstar moment too ;)." In the video, a cop walked on the stage pointing at Rahman and asking his team to wrap up the show. This took place as AR Rahman's song Sadda Haq from Rockstar played in the backdrop.

Did we all just have the "Rockstar" moment on stage yesterday? I think we did!
We were overwhelmed by the love of the audience and kept wanting to give more..
Pune, thank you once again for such a memorable evening. Here's a little snippet of our roller coaster ride ;) pic.twitter.com/qzC1TervKs— A.R.Rahman (@arrahman) May 1, 2023

Towards the end of the video, AR Rahman smiled and said, "Okay. I think we overpoured love and we are overboard the time. That's it, we are done. Timing is over. I like this. Thank you city of Pune, the organisers, and the amazing band." The video ended with the words 'we hope to see you soon' written on it.
