From Nostalgia to New Beginnings, Axiata Arena Witnessed It All

On 6th September 2025, Axiata Arena became a living archive of Tamil cinema music, as fans flooded its seats for The Name Is Vidyasagar Revisit. Organised by Venus Production, the concert drew thousands, by the time the lights dimmed, the arena was filled with cheering voices, glowing phone lights, and a collective energy that only a Vidyasagar evening could inspire. Marking his second time performing in Malaysia, the anticipation was doubled, as fans knew they were in for something unforgettable.

This was no ordinary concert. It was Venus Production’s 10th milestone, and they marked the occasion with grandeur, supported by key partners including Tourism Malaysia. From seamless ticketing at the gates to the final bow, it was clear–this concert was designed as a celebration, not just for Vidyasagar’s music, but of the bond between cinema, musicians, and their fans.

A Stage Built for Emotion and Energy

The technical perfection of the night elevated the music to another level. The sound carried clearly through every corner of the stadium, no distortion, or glitch, just pure resonance. The lighting and visuals transformed the arena into a shifting canvas, with colours, projections, and patterns designed to amplify each song’s mood. The crowd responded with uncontainable enthusiasm, fans in every zone were on their feet, dancing, clapping, and singing along, turning the concert into a collective festival of sound and motion.

And then came the goosebumps opening. A countdown echoed through the stadium before appearing on the screen, followed by a special video of Vidyasagar.

“Ellarum ready uh? Musicians? Singers? Audience”, he asked and the fans roared. As snippets of his composed film titles rolled over, Kabadi Kabadi from Ghilli, the maestro himself made his entry. To everyone’s astonishment, he didn’t just wave, he performed ‘Hey Saloma’ live, a show-stopping act that reminded the audience of his own magnetic presence beyond the composing desk.

Adding to the magic was the live band, he had carefully brought together. Every note, every rhythm, every interlude was performed without compromise. From percussions that shook the seats to strings that softened hearts, the band made classics feel reborn. 

Performances That Lit the Arena

The evening was a parade of powerhouse performances. Each singer brought their unique stamp to Vidyasagar’s classics, making the songs dance between nostalgia and reinvention.

Madhu Balakrishnan filled the air with depth and warmth, especially when he delivered Kana Kandenadi, Kadhal Vanthathum, and Thanthana Thanthana. His voiced added gravitas, drawing fans into the emotional weight of each number.

Ajay Krishna, known for singing like Udit Narayanan, added both charm and vigor, especially in his duets such as Un Samayil Aarayil with Shwetha Mohan and Ithunudu Muthathula with Pooja Venkat. His ability to move with the songs, dancing across the stage, brought joy to the fans who matched his energy.

Pushpavam Kuppusamy turned the early part of the concert into a folk celebration. With Koduva Meesa, alongside Pooja Venkat and later Thottu Thottu, his voice brought a rustic firepower that made everyone dance. On the other hand, Narayanan Ravishankar, reminded everyone of his versatility. His renditions of Iyar Nattu, Dheemthalakadi Thillale, and Vaadi Vaadi had the audience dance their feet off, but it was Hey Shabba that left fans breathless.

Shwetha Mohan, with her angelic sweetness, painted the arena with tenderness through beautiful music such as Thamarai Poovukum, Kadhal Pisase, Azhagoril Poothavale, and Vaadi Vaadi. Pooja Venkat, in contrast, was pure dynamite, opening the night with vocals for Koduva Meesa and ending with Appadi Poddu with Harsha. Her energy never dipped, and her charisma made her one of the most magnetic performers of the evening.

Srivardhani gifted the night its quietest yet most moving interludes with Ore Maanam and Poo Vassam, while Maanasi charmed the audience with her cuteness in Kadhal Vanthathum, Hey Shabba, and Bambara Kannu.

Together, these performers turned the stage into a revolving door of emotions–joy, nostalgia, love and celebration–proving the timeless power of Vidyasagar’s compositions.

Harsha Vardhan Turned the Concert into a Dance Spectacle

If there was one performer who truly captured the night’s spirit, it was Harsha Vardhan. His entry with Aitha Lakka set the tone for an explosive showcase. Not just a singer, but a dancer and an entertainer, Harsha threw his entire being into the performance. His admiration for Thalapathy Vijay and love for his father Vidyasagar could be seen in every dance step, word and gesture, deeply connecting with the crowd.

Whether he was singing classics or slipping in a spontaneous Thean Thean at the fans request, Harsha was relentless. He didn’t just perform, he lived the songs and in doing so, it became the heartbeat of the evening.

When Karthik Turned Songs Into Pure Emotion

When Karthik stepped on stage for Yaar Yaar Sivam, a hush fell before the first line, and by the time he finished, many in the audience were wiping tears. His voice carried emotions like few others can, and throughout the night he reminded fans why he remains a beloved figure. From Ore Maanam to Poo Vassam, from En Ragasiya Kanavugal to the electrifying Theradi Vidhiyil, Karthik soared.

He played with the crowd, even improvising fun lines, dedicated to Malaysia for Theradi Vidhiyil–’Kaluvura Meenula Naazhavura Meenu, Malaysia Ponnu Therinjiko’, and in return, the crowd showered him with affection

When Harsha and Karthik Set the Stage on Fire with Tham Thakka

The collaboration between Karthik and Harsha for Tham Thakka was pure nostalgia reborn. Originally immortalized by Thalapathy Vijay and Raghava Lawrence, the live rendition carried the same feel and energy. The crowd became more excited when Karthik joined Harsha in dance, an unplanned but joyous moment.

The pride in the crowd’s roar was unmistakable.

More Than a Host: Hindra Bose on Stage

Adding to the nights seamless flow was Malaysian stand-up comedian Hindra Bose, also known as Mamajammapuma, hosted the concert from the beginning to the end. More than just a typical emcee, Hindra turned the stage into a rolling comedy act, keeping the audience laughing until their stomachs hurt. He didn’t just host the show, he carried it with charisma, humor and spontaneity.

A First for Malaysia: Mimifly’s Malay Melody with Vidyasagar

One of the most historic moment came when Mimifly joined Vidyasagar for the first-ever Malay song composed by the maestro. Her honeyed and bold voice glided over the melody, a feel-good track that was both fresh and familiar. With the live band supporting her, the performance became a bridge, between Indian cinema music and Malaysia’s linguistic identity, between legacy and innovation.

A Carefully Orchestrated Journey

The structure of the night was masterful. From Vidyasagar’s opening through waves of high-octane folk, tender love songs, electrifying dance numbers, and cultural cross overs, the concert never lagged. Although some of the fan-favorite songs weren’t in the setlist, it didn’t feel incomplete. The setlist still gave a sense of fulfilment to the audience. The pacing was deliberate.

The closing Annanoda Paatu brought every singer, Karthik, Harsha, Ajay Krishna, Narayanan and others, together for a collective explosion of joy. With all of them, including the melody king himself, joining in for a dance, it wasn’t just an ending, it was a declaration that Vidyasagar’s music lives within his fans.

A Milestone for Venus Production

As Venus Production celebrated its 10th milestone with this concert, they cemented their reputations for delivering unforgettable live music experiences. Following a string of successful events, the Name is Vidyasagar Revisit stood as a crown jewel as well. Supported by a few leading partners such as Tourism Malaysia, the night proved that when great music, flawless organization, and passionate audience meet, the result is timeless.

The Name is Vidyasagar Revisit 2025 was more than a concert. It was a memory, emotion, and celebration woven into sound. For those inside Axiata Arena that night, the music did not just play–it lived.
