As the venue partner Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru is not responsible for any technical or other issues managed by the local production. BookMyShow will be in touch with ticket buyers directly. We had eagerly waited for this moment for months, just like you and we are equally heartbroken.''

According to reports, fans, who had already traveled far from the city center to Bhartiya Mall near Bhartiya City, Thanisandra Main Road, were left frustrated and disappointed. Users on X (Twitter) claimed that many had already invested their time, money, and energy in attending the event.
