Karthi Records His First Telugu Number

Karthi, who has crooned a number for forthcoming Tamil movie Biriyani, has lent his voice for the same song in Telugu the version. The news has been officially confirmed by the makers of the film.

"Karthi has already crooned a song for the first time in his film Biriyani under the music direction of Yuvan Shankar Raja. Now, he has crooned the same song in Telugu as well," said a press release.

It has to be noted that Karthi, who has a good market in Andhra Pradesh, has been dubbing his own voice for his movies. This factor made the makers of Biriyani to convince him to croon the number in Telugu.

The makers believe that his decision to sing in Telugu will impress his fans. "We want the Telugu audience to experience Karthi's voice through this song. We are confident that audiences will enjoy the song," the statement read further.

Karthi has sung 'Mississippi', which also features the voices of Premgi Amaren and Priya Himesh. The audio launch of the movie will happen soon.
