Earlier, the singer faced backlash for lending his vocals to a song in ‘Abir Gulaal’, a film featuring Fawad Khan. He, along with Shilpa Rao, has been credited as the singer in the song, ‘Khudaya Ishq’ from the film.

Earlier, composer Anirudh Ravichander announced that the ticket sales for his Bengaluru concert had now been halted in the wake of the terrorist attack. The tickets for his Hukum Tour, scheduled for June 1, were supposed to go live on April 24. The organisers, however, decided to postpone it to another date due to the "current national situation". The new date will be announced soon.

Several other celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Siddharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Allu Arjun also expressed shock and anger over the tragic attack.
