As money keeps pouring in from various quarters for flood relief activities in Kerala, music composer A.R. Rahman is the latest to lend a helping hand. Rahman and his band of musicians have donated Rs one crore to the chief minister's distress relief fund.

Rahman declared this in the middle of a US tour by his band. Taking to social media to share the news, Rahman wrote: “From my artistes and me touring the USA ..to our brothers and sisters of Kerala ! May this small offering help in providing you some relief!”

Last week, the music maestro performed for the victims of Kerala floods and dedicated a special song. During his concert in California, he altered the lyrics of his iconic number 'Mustafa Mustafa' to 'Don't worry Kerala..'.

The gesture was widely appreciated. The incessant rains had affected over 55 lakh people and left a trail of destruction in the state.
