COLORS & T-Series join hands for 'Suron Ke Rang-Salaam Shri Gulshan Kumar'

Music can build relationships and bring the entire world together. And the one entity which has managed just that is, undoubtedly, T-Series. Recognizing their contribution to the world of Indian music, COLORS has joined hands with the music giant to put together a tribute concert celebrating the illustrious life and works of the man behind the establishment called Suron Ke Rang - Salaam Shri Gulshan Kumar.


The concert is the first property developed under COLORS’ Suron Ke Rang – COLORS Ke Sang musical property and will bring together over 30 musical stalwarts and more than 60 popular and unique compositions across three decades. Sonu Nigam, Mika, Shaan, Meet Brothers, Mithoon, Jeet Ganguly, Tulsi Kumar, Arman Malik and guest host Ayushmann Khurrana were present to announce the details of the concert, conceptualized and produced by Kickstart Entertainment, which will be held on 22nd September, 2015 and will air on COLORS later this year.

Commenting on the concert, Raj Nayak, CEO – COLORS, said, “Suron Ke Rang – Salaam Shri Gulshan Kumar is our endeavor to facilitate a tribute to the biggest musical stalwart in the history of Indian music. The support that the music industry, at large, has extended to this first-of-its-kind tribute concert celebrating the life of Shri Gulshan Kumar has been overwhelming. We are looking forward to showcasing the best of Indian music on COLORS and furthering our entertainment proposition for viewers across the globe.”

Suron Ke Rang – Salaam Shri Gulshan Kumar will feature some of the most uniquely themed performances that will recreate the magical music created by T-Series over the years. While the opening act will be a high energy performance by Sonu Nigam, the acts that follow will pay respects to every genre of music that the brand has launched and commercialized.
