In Karnataka, Kailash Kher was attacked while performing. At Hampi Utsav, the audience reportedly demanded that the performer sing a song in Kannada. At this point, supposedly, as Kailash Kher was still performing, someone hurled a water bottle at him. The individuals who tossed the bottle were detained after the cops seemed to be in action. According to news sources, Kailash Kher was unharmed and carried on with his theatrical act.

Kher’s performance was a part of the three-day Hampi Utsav which began on January 27. He also posted a video on Instagram sharing his experience at the festival. However, he did not mention anything concerning the attack. “When paid Kailasa musical tribute to Puneet Rajkumar ji, a song series filmed on him and presented our Kannada songs, the entire Vijayanagar was seen singing, swinging and getting emotional with @bandkailasa. #KailasaLiveInConcert closing of #hampiutsav2023 was very emotional. @kkaladham,” he wrote in Hindi.

Renowned Bollywood and Sandalwood performers performed at the cultural festival. In addition to Bollywood playback singers Arman Mallik and Kailash Kher, the extensive list of performers includes Sandalwood vocalists Arjun Jannya, Vijaya Prakash, Raghu Dikshit, and Anannya Bhath.
Since the creation of the brand-new Vijayanagara district, this is the first cultural event that has been held. Basavaraj Bommai, the chief, performed the opening ceremony. Four stages were set up for the elaborate event: the main stage was at Gayatri Peeta, and the others were in Eduru Basavanna Vedike, Hampi Virupaksheshwar Vedike, and Sasuvekalu Vedike.
