The atmosphere peaked when Sahi invited fans on stage during the lively rendition of Ammamma, creating an unforgettable connection with the audience and the night culminated in an energetic performance of his hit Naa Kudikka Poren, leaving the crowd chanting for more.

The excitement soared as Amos Paul joined forces with Ratty Adhiththan for a remarkable collaboration, enhancing the concert’s appeal as a true celebration of music.

“Thank you, Malaysia! I’m living my dream! This is incredibly special to me as it’s my first solo concert. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience!” Sahi expressed during a brief speech, acknowledging fans for their unwavering support.
