K J Yesudas could not have gotten a better gift in his 50th year in the film industry. The veteran playback singer has achieved a rare feat of recording his first ever Tamil film song once again for a new film in his golden jubilee year.
Says a source close to the development, “Yesudas sir has freshly recorded his first Tamil song Neeyum Bommai Naanum Bommai… from the 1964-film Bommai for the upcoming film Moodar Koodam. The film is a black comedy and musical directed by first-time filmmaker Naveen, who has assisted Chimbudevan and Pandiraj.”
We hear that the film’s music director Sankaran Natarajan (who’s also a debutant) and Naveen were planning to remix the song and had met the wife of Veena S Balachander, who was Bommai’s director and composer, to get a no objection certificate for using the song.
“Initially, they approached the singer’s son Vijay Yesudas to provide the vocals. However, when Yesudas got wind of the matter, he asked the team if he could sing the song as this year marks his 50th year in the film industry, and the team was over the moon,” adds the source.
The singer recorded for the song last month in a studio in Chennai. The team has also shot a making-of video of the recording honouring the legend and is planning to release it close to the film’s audio launch, which will take place in a month.
