"The concert is unique as for the first time in Malaysia, a concert is being held mainly dedicated to Unni Menon’s songs.
"Apart from that, through this concert, the magic of late Indian playback singer Shahul Hameed's voice will be poignantly re-created by his brother Shamsuddin with some of his hits under the composition of AR Rahman," director of MNESS Productions, Dr Muniswaran Sivanathan, the concert organiser told Bernama.

Dr Muniswaran said the 618-audience capacity Shantanand Auditorium, the concert venue, will enable audience to watch the concert in a closer range regardless of which ticket zone they have purchased while helping them to avoid the hassle of queueing to enter the hall.
The concert will be hosted by Rj Teresa Lazaro and Rj Gokul Kogul from Malaysian Radio Channels and the gate will open as early as 5 pm.
