SPB-Shankar Mahadevan Croon Vijay's Jilla Intro Song

Music director Imman roped in SP Balasubramaniam and Shankar Mahadevan to croon the introduction song of forthcoming Tamil film Jilla. They have recorded the number last week.

It is a fast-paced track, which talks about the qualities of the lead stars Vijay and Mohanlal. It is high on energy and the music director has mainly used Chendai (cylindrical percussion instrument) beats. While Shankar Mahadevan has crooned for the lines on Vijay, SP Balasubramaniam has lent his voice for the Malayalam superstar.

"Though the two singers have sung together earlier, I'm hoping that this one becomes the definitive song featuring this combo. SPB sir has sung the lines for Mohanlal, while Shankar sir has crooned Vijay's lines. I've tried to make the song musically interesting as well. Since it is a song full of energy, I've used chendai beats, which are normally used in our film songs in the background as the predominant beats," the Times of India quotes the music director as saying.

Sources say that the song has come out well and it could be the highlight of the Jilla album. The audio of the film is likely to hit the stands on December 18.

Jilla stars Vijay, Mohanlal and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead roles. It is directed by Nesan and produced by RB Chaudhary.
