Bahraini sensation announces Bengaluru gig after massive viral success.
Viral fame has a new name, and it is coming to India. Flipperachi, the Bahraini hip-hop artist who took social media by storm with his track FA9LA, is officially packing his bags for a highly anticipated visit. Capitalizing on the massive Indian fanbase he gained through the Bollywood film Dhurandhar, the rapper has formally announced his maiden tour of the country.
First Stop: Bengaluru
Music lovers and reels enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate. Breaking the news on Instagram, the artist - whose real name is Hussam Aseem - revealed that the Flipperachi India tour will kick off in Bengaluru. He is slated to perform live on March 14 at the venue 'un40fam'. While this is the only confirmed date so far, the rapper teased that more cities will be added to the itinerary soon.
In his enthusiastic social media update, Flipperachi engaged directly with his new fanbase, asking, "First India show date announced! We’re excited to be in Bengaluru on March 14... Which city should we stop in? Drop your city in the comments!"
The Dhurandhar Connection
Flipperachi’s rise to stardom in the Indian subcontinent is a testament to the power of Bollywood. His 2024 track FA9LA was featured in the movie Dhurandhar, serving as the background score for Akshaye Khanna’s character, Rahman Dakait. The juxtaposition of the song's intense, party-ready beats with the character’s dark, dramatic entry struck a chord with the audience.
Social media platforms were soon flooded with fans recreating the dance steps, turning the track into a viral anthem. Speaking to Filmfare, the rapper admitted he knew the moment was special when he first saw the scene, noting that the collaboration gave his song an entirely new, edgier dimension.
Beyond the Music
While fans are eager to witness his high-energy performance, the artist has his own checklist for the trip. Apart from possible collaborations with Indian musicians, Flipperachi expressed excitement about exploring local cuisine, stating he cannot wait to try authentic Indian food.
As the Flipperachi India tour prepares to roll out, excitement is building across the country, with fans in other metros crossing their fingers for a date in their city.
