South Indian actor-director Dhanush recently shared the unexpected story behind the viral hit “Kolaveri Di.” During an event, he was asked to sing the iconic track, which prompted him to reflect on its origins.
“Kolaveri Di…that song still continues to haunt me,” Dhanush humorously quipped, acknowledging the lasting impact of the song. He then revealed how the team behind the song had completely forgotten about it after its late-night recording.
“We found an icon on the computer screen saying Kolaveri Di. We opened it and then it hit us, oh, we made this. We made it and forgot about it. We found it funny, but we never thought it would be such a big sensation. These things you can’t plan. God should consider you worthy,” he explained.
The song, featuring Dhanush’s vocals and lyrics alongside Anirudh Ravichander’s music, went on to become a massive hit, becoming the most searched YouTube video in India upon its release. Dhanush performed the song for his ex-wife, director Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s film 3, which starred Dhanush and Shruti Haasan.
On the professional front, Dhanush will star in Kubera and is set to direct and produce Idly Kadai. Recently, he was involved in a legal dispute with Nayanthara over footage used in her Netflix documentary.
