      Days after AR Rahman’s Chennai concert drew criticism for poor management, the event organiser, ACTC Events issued an apology.

      Hemanth Raja, the CEO of the company, took to Instagram and shared a video urging people to not blame AR Rahman as he took responsibility for the incident.

      Tickets for the concert were allegedly oversold which led to a stampede-like situation at the venue. Several women also claimed they were sexually harassed.

      The CEO of the event organiser said in the clip, ‘Our goal was to guarantee an unforgettable night of Rahman sir’s songs for his fans. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, many couldn’t access the venue. We accept full responsibility for this and are accountable.’

      He added that AR Rahman had no role in the incident. ‘He is not one to blame. It's completely our mistake. Don't spread negativity about him. He did his job one hundred per cent and the majority were enjoyed, but we failed. We take full responsibility,’ he said.

      He also claimed that they didn't oversell tickets and added that the incident happened due to ticket duplication and overcrowding. He also said that the company would be providing refunds to those who bought tickets but couldn’t attend the show and urged them to get in touch with them with all details.

      His post read, ‘We are with you.’

      The incident happened when AR Rahman performed at Marakuma Nenjam concert at Adityaram Palace in Chennai's Paniyur on September 10.
