Music composer S. Thaman will be performing at the

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium

in Hyderabad on March 27, 2025, with a live performance ahead of the SunRisers Hyderabad vs. Lucknow Super Giants match. This event is part of the special performances planned across various IPL venues this season, following the main opening ceremony in Kolkata.
Thaman will treat the audience to his hit tracks from films like Pawan Kalyan's 'OG', Mahesh Babu's 'Guntur Kaaram', Nandamuri Balakrishna's 'Daaku Maharaaj', and Ram Charan's 'Game Changer'. The composer has promised a massive playlist for SunRisers Hyderabad, making it a memorable evening for fans. Notably, the performance coincides with the eve of Ram Charan's birthday.

Thaman shared the news on his Instagram handle, where he wrote, "Singing Our #Og #GunturKaaram #Daaku #GameChanger Songs For the First Time In Our Very Own Cricket Stadium Playlist for Our Boys @sunrisershyd IS HUGE. See you Guys !! And that too. On the eve of our #GlobalStar’s birthday, @alwaysramcharan gaaru !!"

Recently, there were rumors about Ram Charan unfollowing Thaman on Instagram after the musician commented on why the film's songs didn't achieve the desired popularity in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. But Ram Charan's team clarified that he never followed Thaman in the first place, as per a Hindustan Times report. This rumor was quickly dispelled, ensuring that the focus remains on the upcoming performance and the match.
The 2025 IPL season is witnessing special performances at most venues, enhancing the spectator experience. Earlier, Anirudh Ravichander performed at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, entertaining the crowd with his superhit tracks from films like 'Leo,' 'Jailer,' and 'Beast.' However, Anirudh's performance was exclusive to the stadium audience and was not broadcast live.
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is known for its batting-friendly pitch, which often results in high-scoring matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad has a strong record at this venue, having won 35 out of their 57 matches played here.
