Akshay
Kumar
has
edged
out
Shahrukh
Khan
over
the
Hindi
rights
of
this
year's
sleeper
hit
'Kolaveri
di'
track.
The
Khiladi
has
beaten
the
King
of
the
Bollywood,
who
was
also
in
the
race
for
the
remake
rights,
by
successfully
bagging
the
rights
of
the
Tamil
song.
Reports
say
that
Akshay
Kumar,
like
many
others,
became
fan
of
'Kolaveri
di'
and
considering
its
popularity,
he
decided
to
acquire
the
rights
of
the
Hindi
version.
On
the
other
end,
Shahrukh
Khan
also
liked
the
song
after
Karan
Johar
praised
the
track
on
Twitter.
In
the
process,
SRK
approached
Rajinikanth
but
little
less
he
knew
that
Akki
had
sensibly
contacted
Dhanush
through
his
associates
and
sealed
the
deal.
'Kolaveri
di'
is
a
Tamil
track
from
the
forthcoming
movie
3.
The
song
composed
by
newcomer
Anirudh
is
written
and
crooned
by
Dhanush.
