More tidbits about this song: This was Unnikrishnan's first duet in a film. He was apprehensive about singing it. As you know, with Rahman, each singer does his or her part separately, without the other even being present. But for this recording, UnniKrishnan was at the studio first and had Ch

Actually, Many years back, in an interview that I still recall, Rahman's mom had said: My husband used to be strong believer. When Rahman was composing for first film, I went to see an astrologer(I forgot the name she mentioned). The astrologer said to put A.R before his name. I asked why,
