The event was called 'Symposium of Business, Music and Arts' and was sposored by Manjeera Constructions Ltd. The event took place at 4.30pm and lasted 7-8 minutes. Sai sung 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' (by A R Rahman) while members of Kriyaa Dance Academy performed a choreogrpahed dance on the same stage. He originally claimed 335 different languages, but included non spoken languages like 'Klingon' and was asked to resubmit his translation without words in the lyrics that had the same spelling/pronunciation and the same meaning in English. He then claimed 265 and although witness statements say 150 languages, they were led to believe this was the total (he was aiming for this number at first) as they could not understand every language. The translators evidnence verifies the 265. Sai sung one word in a different language.
**RESTED** similar to record ID 53377 where the claimant has to have the song recorded and made commercially available. This claimant also sung a word in each language and the song ended up being a jumble of words which wouldn't make sense to anyone who didn't speak all 265 languages. He also included languages such as Gujarati, but with several different dialects of it like Khatiyavadi Gujarati and Kakari Gujarati. The record becomes too complicated and difficult to quantify.
