Of course, the fans were very pleased with man of them dropping comments like “wow” and “epic combination”. U2 and AR Rahman are collaborating on a new track titled ‘Ahimsa’. They met up at AR Rahman’s studio for the same. Earlier AR Rahman had also shared the artwork of the song. The song is available on Spotify.
