Triveni: Three Master Performers, the upcoming multi-city concert tour organized by MH Films, is set to showcase the musical prowess of Anup Jalota, Shankar Mahadevan, and Hariharan across Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Indore later this month. However, in a surprising turn of events, the three legendary singers have firmly declined the inclusion of Bollywood actresses Nora Fatehi and Tamannaah Bhatia as guest performers for the concerts.
The Artistic Vision Behind the Decision
According to sources close to the event, Manish Harishankar, the event organizer, had initially proposed the idea of including Fatehi and Bhatia to add a Bollywood flair to the concerts. However, the trio of singers felt that this would divert attention from the core essence of the event—Indian classical music.
A source close to the trio revealed, “In discussions with Shankar Mahadevan and Hariharan, the artists emphasized that the spirit of Triveni lies in presenting the depth and grandeur of Indian music. They expressed that the inclusion of Bollywood actresses as guest performers would shift the focus away from the music, and detract from the concert’s artistic vision.”
A Call for Musical Integrity
The singers reportedly stated that if a guest appearance were to be made, it should ideally be by another singer who aligns with the event’s theme, rather than a Bollywood actor. The source added, “They wanted to keep the focus on the purity of the music and ensure that the concert remains an experience rooted in tradition.”
Nora Fatehi and Tamannaah Bhatia’s Involvement
Despite the refusal from the singers, Manish Harishankar confirmed that he had reached out to the managers of both Nora Fatehi and Tamannaah Bhatia to discuss potential dates and costs for their performances at the event.
On the Work Front
Meanwhile, Tamannaah Bhatia continues to gain attention with her role in the Netflix film Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, a heist action-thriller where she stars alongside Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill. Nora Fatehi, who was last seen in Madgaon Express and is gearing up for her Telugu debut in Matka, also has a project titled Dancing Dad lined up.
Conclusion
While this decision has stirred some interest, it underscores the importance that the performers place on preserving the musical integrity of their concert series. The Triveni: Three Master Performers concert promises to be a celebration of Indian music with a focus solely on the artistic mastery of its performers.
