Music maestro A R Rahman is all set to perform in the UK on July 8.

The 50-year-old Oscar-winning musician took to Facebook to share the news with his fans.

"Friends and music lovers in the UK, looking forward to being amongst you and performing with my entire team," wrote Rahman.

The composer will perform in the Netru Indru Nalai concert at Wembley's The SSE Arena in London, which was rocked by the twin terror attacks on June 3 that took place at London Bridge and Borough Market.

The attacks came after the suicide bombing in Manchester at the end of singer Ariana Grandes concert on May 22.

Apart from Rahman, the show will also see performances by singers such as Benny Dayal, Neeti Mohan, Haricharan, Jonita Gandhi, Ranjit Barot and Javed Ali.

The show has been organised by the Grammy-winning composer and BTOS Productions.

Mid July, Rahman will also perform at 2017 IIFA Awards, to be held in New York, marking his 25 years in the film industry at the event.

Dua Lipa wins ‘Levitating’ copyright case as judge dismisses claims

British pop star Dua Lipa has successfully defended herself against yet another copyright lawsuit over her chart-topping track Levitating. A U.S. judge ruled that the claims made by songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer lacked merit, marking Lipa’s second victory in a legal battle over the song.

The lawsuit, filed in 2022, alleged that Levitating copied elements from Brown and Linzer’s 1979 song Wiggle and Giggle All Night and their 1980 track Don Diablo. The claim focused on the opening melody of Lipa’s hit, arguing that it was identical to their work. However, Judge Katherine Polk Failla dismissed the case, stating that the similarities were based on commonly used musical structures that had appeared in songs for centuries.

Aamir Khan auditioned for ‘Laapataa Ladies’ but lost the role: Video goes viral!

Aamir Khan’s attempt to play a small-town cop in Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies has sparked conversation among fans, thanks to a newly surfaced audition tape. The Bollywood star, who also produced the film, had initially hoped to take on the role of Sub-Inspector Shyam Manohar. However, director Kiran Rao ultimately chose Ravi Kishan for the part, a decision that many now agree was the right call.

The audition tape, shared on Aamir’s recently launched YouTube channel, Aamir Khan Talkies, shows the actor in a police uniform, chewing paan and trying out a rural accent. The video also includes bloopers, giving fans a insider view in to his efforts to embody the character. While Aamir is known for his dedication to roles, viewers were quick to point out that something felt off. Many felt his polished screen presence made him seem out of place as the rustic and rough-around-the-edges cop.

Charli XCX plays a hilariously exaggerated version of herself in new comedy 'Overcompensating'

Charli XCX is no stranger to the screen, having lent her voice to animated films like Angry Birds and UglyDolls, and made guest appearances in shows such as Gossip Girl and I’m With the Band: Nasty Cherry. Now, the pop star is stepping further into the acting world with a comical guest role in the upcoming Amazon Prime series Overcompensating.

A teaser for the comedy, set to premiere on May 15, features Charli in a self-aware and exaggerated version of herself. Booked to perform at a college event, she’s less than pleased when the organisers insist she sing her 2014 hit Boom Clap. The track, which gained massive popularity from The Fault in Our Stars soundtrack, is clearly not on her setlist. “Do you think I want to play f—ing ‘Boom Clap’ in a f—ing college?” she snaps at a frazzled stage manager. Her frustration escalates as she demands, “Are you joking?” leaving the poor staffer visibly shaken.
