A.R. Ameen, the son of the leading Indian film music maestro A.R. Rahman was involved in a shocking onstage accident and according to his own statement had a lucky escape by a hair's breadth. He was apparently singing in a concert on a small outdoor stage when the entire heavy lighting setup weighing hundreds of kilos fell from above just a few inches away from him. The two photos of before and after accident is spinechilling as can be seen below.

Ameen wrote on Insta "I am thankful to the Almighty, my parents, family, well-wishers, and my spiritual teacher that I am safe and alive today. Just three nights ago, I was shooting for a song and I trusted the team to have taken care of the engineering and safety, while I was focusing on performing in front of the camera. The whole truss and chandeliers that were suspended from a crane came crashing down while I was right in the middle of the spot. If it were a few inches here and there, a few seconds earlier or later, the whole rig would have fallen on our heads. My team and I are shell-shocked and unable to recover from the trauma." Celebrities and fans are conveying their relief and best wishes to Ameen on social media.

A relieved ARR has written on his son's timeline "Miraculous escape …இறைவனின் அருள்!..." A.R. Ameen like his most celebrated father is also a budding musician who has impressed with his work so far. The father-son duo will soon appear together in a promo song video for the upcoming 'Pathu Thala' starring Simbu and Gautham Karthik and directed by Obeli N Krishna for Studio Green.
