Regmi highlighted Shaan's reputation for warmth and engaging stage presence, which he believes resonates well with local audiences. "He is a generous person, and he’s easily communicative on stage," Regmi said, adding that Shaan plans to open the concert with a Nepali song.

For Nepali fans, the concert holds a special layer of nostalgia. Shaan, who rose to prominence in the 1990s, is celebrated for his many hits across three decades of playback singing in Bollywood. His well-known songs include 'Chand Sifarish' (Fanaa), 'Jab Se Tere Naina' (Saawariya), 'Hey Shona' (Ta Ra Rum Pum), and 'Suno Na'.
