He added that he they will offer an Indian mood at the gala with the theme ‘India meets the world’.
Barot has been known for his long association with Oscar winner music director AR Rahman and he fuses Indian beats with western jazz percussion. He will be accompanied by Parthasarathy on mridangam. He will also play Middle Eastern drums and the conventional Western drum kit.
The music director of the films like Sankat City, Acid factory, Qayamat: City Under Threat, Fiza etc, will perform on stage only with Sridar Parthasarathy and the rest musical backup will be given by a recorded orchestra.
