Imtiaz Ali shared a video announcing a landmark moment as A.R. Rahman prepares to perform at the Attari border on June 7. Calling it a historic first, the filmmaker revealed that no artist has ever performed at the iconic border before. He also highlighted the significance of the event taking place around Main Vaapas Aaunga, a film set against the backdrop of Partition that explores stories of love and longing.
In the video, Imtiaz Ali says, “Can you believe that A. R. Rahman is going to Punjab for the first time? Can you believe that no artist has performed at the Atari border before? So tomorrow, on the 7th of June, A. R. Rahman is going to perform right where the flag ceremony happens, at the Atari border, for the spirit of nationhood. And isn’t it magical that this is happening around Main Wapas Aunga, a film that is based on partition, and the stories of love and longing? Well, magic does happen in life.”
