AR Rahman music for Mulayam b’day

Etawah

A cultural extravaganza, including a performance by Oscar winning composer AR Rahman and his 300-member troupe, has been lined up as part of the three-day bash, which got off to a colourful start yesterday at Saifai, around 200km from state capital Lucknow.
This will be Rahman’s maiden performance in Saifai.
Massive fireworks lit up the night sky as people made a beeline for the village to wish their leader a long life an pray for his good health.

“Netaji’s ties with Saifai are emotional. He is a father figure, our godfather,” said Mahesh Yadav, an enthusiastic youth worker who was busy organising the grand show.

Arrangements have been made to shower rose petals on the SP supremo when he lands at the airstrip outside Saifai, where large-sized LED screens have been set up at vantage points to telecast live the razzmatazz birthday party.

A 76-kg cake has been ordered to mark the occasion while mouth-watering Italian, Chinese and Thai dishes will be prepared by renowned chefs from Delhi and Mumbai to treat around one lakh guests from a wide spectrum of the society.
