MUMBAI: The multi-talented artist, Farhan Akhtar, announced his first India Tour as an independent artist, featuring songs from his latest English album 'Echoes'. The tour will take place in major cities across the country.

Farhan Akhtar has been an icon in the Indian entertainment industry for years, and is known for his versatility as a director, producer, actor, singer, and songwriter. With his debut album 'Echoes', he now takes his first steps as an independent artist.

Recorded in Milan, the rich, melodic album was produced by Grammy-winning producer Tommaso Colliva (Franz Ferdinand, Jesus and Mary Chain, Muse).
