Flipperachi announced the tour on Sunday via Instagram, inviting fans to suggest cities where he should perform. The upcoming India tour marks a significant milestone in his career, introducing his Khaleeji hip-hop style—a fusion of contemporary rap and traditional Gulf music—to Indian audiences.
Rise to Fame in India
The song FA9LA initially released in May 2024, saw a surge in popularity following the release of Dhurandhar in December 2025. The film, starring Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait, went on to achieve massive box-office success, with an Indian net collection surpassing ₹800 crore and global earnings exceeding ₹1,250 crore. A dance sequence featuring Khanna on the track went viral on social media, further amplifying Flipperachi’s visibility in India.
Apart from FA9LA, Flipperachi is known for songs like 9ARAT, E La, and Nayda, and has been associated with Outlaw Productions, led by DJ Outlaw, since 2008. His innovative blend of Gulf music with modern rap has earned him accolades, including the Bahraini Artist of the Year 2024 award.
Film Connection and Popularity
Dhurandhar, released on December 5, 2025, features an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor. The film’s commercial and critical success has elevated the status of its music, making FA9LA one of the most-streamed tracks in recent Bollywood releases. Its upcoming sequel, set to release on March 19, 2026, is expected to further enhance Flipperachi’s reach in India.
Producers of the UN40 Music Festival expressed excitement over hosting Flipperachi, highlighting the growing influence of international artists in the Indian music scene. The festival aims to provide a platform for cross-cultural musical exchanges while celebrating emerging talent from around the world.
Fans across India are eagerly anticipating the rapper’s live performances, which are expected to showcase his high-energy style and signature fusion of Khaleeji beats with contemporary hip-hop.
