From Bahrain to Bollywood: The Rise of a Global Star
Born Hussam Aseem, Flipperachi began his musical journey at age 12 in Bahrain. He distinguished himself by rapping in Arabic and fusing traditional Khaleeji sounds with contemporary beats. His breakthrough came with the track 'FA9LA', which achieved a Guinness World Record by topping four Billboard Arabia charts simultaneously. Prior to his India fame, he collaborated with international icons like Shaggy and The Game.
How India Fell in Love with Flipperachi
While Flipperachi has been a legend in the Gulf region for two decades, his massive popularity in India ignited through the 2025 blockbuster film Dhurandhar. The song 'FA9LA' served as the high-octane entry theme for Akshaye Khanna's character, Rehman Dakait. The track's powerful rhythm, blending Arabic hip-hop with Indian tabla percussion, created a cultural phenomenon that transcended language barriers.
The song's infectious energy fueled over 10 million social media clips and contributed significantly to the film crossing the ₹450 crore mark at the box office. This crossover success demonstrated that great music needs no translation.

Flipperachi's Mumbai concert on March 13, 2026, marks his official India debut. The following day, March 14, 2026, he will perform in Bengaluru as part of a limited India tour. Additional cities, ticketing information, and complete tour details will be announced shortly.
The concerts are being produced by major promoters Eva Live and Zee Live, with support from Mastercard, highlighting the significant confidence in his crossover appeal to Indian audiences.
What to Expect at the Live Shows

The setlist will include chart-topping hits like 'FA9LA', 'Ee Laa', 'Shoofha', and 'Nayda', all of which have garnered millions of views worldwide. The live performance promises to deliver the raw, infectious energy that has made Flipperachi a global movement.
