For the first time in his acting career, Rajnikanth recorded a Hindi song composed and co-sung by AR Rahman in London for his daughter Soundarya’s film Kochadaiyaan.


The film’s producers Dr Murli Manohar and Eros International were keen on the superstar singing the song in Hindi after he lent his voice to the original Tamil version.

‘Rajini and Rahman came together to render Rahman’s composition. In Hindi. Rajni’ji had earlier sung the theme song for the Tamil version of Kochadaiyaan.

But that was a completely different song. You must understand that the Hindi version of Kochadaiyaan is totally independent of its Tamil version. And so are the songs, Dr Manohar said.
