According to a report, the Oscar-winning composer has accused the association of defaming his name and reputation and is seeking Rs 10 crore as compensation.
Rahman's Marakkuma Nenjam concert witnessed many complaints of molestation, fake tickets, and overcrowding. Several people also complained of being denied entry despite having valid tickets to the concert.
In response to the complaints, ASICON registered a complaint against the singer, alleging that he received a sum of Rs 29 lakh in 2018 for a concert; however, he never conducted one.
In response to the allegations, Rahman's team has filed a defamation case against the association, demanding an unconditional apology for maligning his reputation. Rahman has also urged a withdrawal of the complaint filed against him within three days.
In continuation of the report, Rahman denied all the accusations and asserted that there were third parties involved who he was not aware of.
It is now up to the court to decide whether or not Rahman's defamation suit has merit. If the court finds in Rahman's favor, ASICON may be ordered to pay him Rs 10 crore in compensation and issue an unconditional apology.
