The Tanglish (Tamil and English) song, a funny take on a
heartbreak, is from the Dhanush's upcoming Tamil movie '3'. It
has already become a craze on internet with over 14 lakh
views on YouTube.
"I am overwhelmed by the response. When we were recording
the song, we never thought it would become such a rage. We
didn't have any plans, any marketing strategy to make the song
a hit. It just happened. My voice is full of mistakes and
that's why it suits the song. I guess that worked for the
song because it can be easily hummed," Dhanush told PTI over
phone from Chennai.
'Kolaveri di' (why this murderous rage), which is being
shared by the online community rapidly, was released digitally
on November 16 by Sony Music.
The video shows Dhanush, the son-in-law of superstar
Rajinikanth, singing the song in a studio and composer Anirudh
Ravichander on the keyboard while director Aishwarya R Dhanush
and co-star Shruti Hassan watch along and give suggestions.
"When I was writing down the lyrics, I kept in mind all
the English words that are used in the Tamil vocabulary. Words
like I, you, me, how, why, cow.. I just framed them into
sentences and thats how I came up with the song," said
Dhanush, who also penned down the lyrics of the song.
Debutant music-director Anirudh Ravichander said they
wanted to do something new with the song and it was Aishwarya
who came up with the concept. PTI
