Hi Chandra,
interesting list.
Off the top of my head
- Anupama has done a lot of singing for ARR (mostly in Harmony). I think she
was credited as the lead fot atleast one other song ("Mercury Pookkal")
- Minmini has also sung a few songs ("Paarkadhe" from Gentleman, "Pudhiya
Mugam", Gang Master etc)
- P.Susheela - Duet and Indian
- Reena B sang "Main vari vari"
- Abhijeet sang "Teri Meri Baat" from Sapney

Hi Fans,
Hope everybody enjoyed Guru.
This is a slightly "unimportant" topic but like a small good break
from the intense discussions related to Guru and from various other
topics.
There are singers who become famous after singing for ARR. But the
ones in this list have sung for him just once..!!
Okay, apart from a few exceptions there are two main reasons:
1. They are professionals in some other field and dont sing much.
2. They are much bigger talents in their forms of music and dont sing
film songs much.
1. Ashutosh Gowariker (Swades)
2. Arjun (Parasuram)
3. Bharatiraja (Karuthamma)
4. Manoj (Taj Mahal)
5. Silambarasan / Simbu (Kaathal Virus)
6. Anupama (?) (Thiruda Thiruda - Chandralekha song)
7. Minmini (Roja)
8. P Susila (Poo Kodiyin song from Iruvar)
9. Bombay Jayasree (Narumugaye - Iruvar)
10. Reena Bhardwaj (?) (Yeh Rishta - Meenaxi)
11. Bhattacharya (?) (Jack n Jill - Parasuram)
12. Usha Uthup (Daud title song)
13. Kumar Sanu (Mellisaye from Mr. Romeo in Tamil. I guess he sung the
hindi one)
14. Nusarat Fateh Ali Khan (Chanda suraj - Vande Mataram)
15. Abhijeeth (or is it Abhishek?) (Chidiya song in Nayak)
(?) means I am either doubtful of the name, the song or whether they
really have sung only one song. Corrections arr welcome.
This is not including the most recent ones and also excluding the list
of singers from Hollywood ventures like BD, WOHE etc. Also not in the
list are the ones who collabarated for Jana Gana Mana version of A R
Rahman.
Neither is the list complete or absolutely correct - something for
you to think over and come up with...
Thanks for reading.
Chandra.
