Bahraini rapper Hussam Aseem, professionally known as Flipperachi, has announced his upcoming India tour, with his first performance scheduled in Bengaluru on March 14 at the UN40 Music Festival. The announcement comes amid growing international attention for his track “FA9LA”, which featured in the Bollywood film Dhurandhar and has also seen strong traction on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
Flipperachi shared the tour update through a post on his official Instagram account on Sunday, confirming Bengaluru as the first stop. He added that more Indian cities and dates will be announced soon, and invited fans to suggest locations for future performances.
“First India show date announced! We’re excited to be in Bengaluru on March 14 at @un40fam! More dates to be added soon. Which city should we stop in?” the rapper wrote, while also sharing booking details for India through his exclusive booking agent.
Streaming Success and Film Recognition
Although Flipperachi released “FA9LA” in May 2024, the song gained widespread recognition in December 2025 after it was featured in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. Following the film’s release, the track saw a significant surge in listens and entered popular playlists and regional charts on Spotify, helping expand Flipperachi’s listener base in India and beyond.
Dhurandhar, led by Ranveer Singh, explored covert intelligence operations against the backdrop of major geopolitical and terror-related events, including the Kandahar plane hijack, the 2001 Parliament attack, and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The film also starred Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun.
India Debut and Growing Global Reach
The Bengaluru performance will mark Flipperachi’s first live show in India, reflecting his growing presence among international audiences. With increasing visibility on global streaming charts, particularly on Spotify, and exposure through Indian cinema, the rapper’s India tour signals a new phase in his expanding music career.
