Says the director, "It will be an electric evening. We are excited about the music launch as we will have our artistes performing at the gig." She adds that the concert was a brainchild of producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar. "There is no other way to drop this album than to slam it live," exclaims Akhtar, whose film trains the spotlight on the underground rap scene of the country.

While leading lady Alia Bhatt will host the event, rappers - including D–Cypher, Beat Raw, D'evil, MC Altaf, Rahul Raahi, Nexus and SpitFire, among others - will hit the stage.
