Rahman explained the misconception that happened among police officers on duty, “The organisers (ACTC events) had put together about 46,000 chairs in the venue.

By this time, the show had already started inside.” ALSO READ: AR Rahman Reacts On Chennai Concert That Turned Into Bizarre, “I’m Terribly Disturbed”
