Music Maestro AR Rahman is all set to find the best singing talent from the South with his new show ‘Tamil Idol’ on Sony Vizha.
Tamil Idol reflects the channel’s commitment to bringing internationally celebrated entertainment formats to Tamil audiences while showcasing the richness of local talent and culture.
Produced by Fremantle India, the show will be available across Sony Vizha and Sony LIV, “creating a unified entertainment destination where world-class formats and Tamil storytelling come together across both television and digital platforms.”
Marking the official beginning of Tamil Idol, A.R. Rahman announced the opening of auditions from 18th August, inviting aspiring singers across Tamil Nadu to register through the Sony LIV app.
Speaking about the show, Rahman said, “The search for new voices is at the heart of music, voices that go on to reach millions. Through this journey, we uncover new talent, fresh perspectives, and the untold stories of generations. With Tamil Idol, for the very first time, we bring together the extraordinary voices of Tamil Nadu and give them a platform to be celebrated.”
Meanwhile, Rahman is also gearing up for the release of his tribute music video for legendary Asha Bhosle.
On Monday, AR Rahman announced that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be a part of the upcoming tribute music video of late singer Asha Bhosle.
Sharing a note on his X, AR Rahman penned a gratitude note for the ‘Baazigar’ actor for “agreeing” to become a part of Asha Bhosle’s upcoming tribute music video. “A heartfelt thank you to dear Shah Rukh Khan for graciously agreeing to be part of Asha Bhosle ji’s tribute music video.”
