Rajinikanth's son-in-law Dhanush is riding high on the success of his blockbuster song Kolaveri Di, which has already crossed 5 million hits on YouTube. However, the actor admits the song has no meaning and is completely nonsense.
"It feels nice when people are open with their praise for your work. I honestly didn't think the song would be such a craze. This has made me realize that people universally want only simple lyrics and simpler tune from filmmakers. My poor broken English lyrics, written in a silly tone, and borderline singing has proved to be advantageous for the success of this song," the national award-winning actor told a leading daily.
"I agree the lyrics are absolute nonsense and is written in Tanglish. That's probably why people everywhere relate to it," Dhanush added.
The video, which shows Dhanush recording the song in a studio along with his wife Aishwarya, actor Shruti Haasan and debutant music director Anirudh Ravichander, has become a rage. Mega star Amitabh Bachchan is also smitten by the song. "Just heard Kolaveri Di after much talk on it ... its so original and catchy ..congrats Dhanush and Aishwarya (Rajni's daughter) .. love," Big B tweeted.
The song is part of Rajini's daughter, Aishwarya's directorial debut, 3, starring her actor-husband, Dhanush opposite Shruti Haasan.
The song goes like this:White skin-u girl-u girl-u,
girl-u heart-u black-u.
Eyes-u eyes-u meet-u meet-u, my future dark ...
