Terming the event as “India’s biggest concert”, Karan Johar on social media on Friday made an official announcement in this regard and urged people to participate in the concert and donate to those experiencing the epidemic.
“Two weeks ago, we started work on India’s biggest concert. To entertain people who are locked-down at home. To pay tribute to those who work on the frontlines while we work from home. And to raise funds for those who have no work and no home,” Johar wrote on Instagram.
The filmmaker then went on to talk about the demise of the two superstars Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor and said how the show must keep going.
“And when we were just days away from the concert, we lost two of our leading lights: #IrrfanKhan and #RishiKapoor. A stark reminder that life is fleeting. We must play our part. And keep the show going,” Johar wrote.
“So with a prayer in our hearts and a song on our lips, we bring you #IFORINDIA the concert for our times. 3rd May, 7:30 pm IST,” he added.
“Watch it LIVE worldwide on Facebook. 100% of proceeds go to the India COVID Response Fund set up by @give_india. Tune in. Donate now. Do your bit. Link in bio. #SocialForGood,” his caption further said.
