Director
Rajesh
M
Selva
said
that
the
single
track
from
upcoming
Tamil
thriller
Thoongaavanam
is
an
advance
birthday
gift
from
the
film's
team
to
its
lead
actor
Kamal
Haasan.
Kamal
turns
61
on
November
7th.
"We
are
releasing
the
single
track
from
our
film
exactly
a
month
before
Kamal
sir's
birthday.
This
is
our
birthday
gift
to
him," Rajesh
told
reporters
here.
Featuring
Kamal's
voice,
the
single
"Neeye
Unakku
Raja"
was
unveiled
here
at
a
star-studded
event.
In
attendance
were
Tamil
stars
such
as
Dhanush,
Vishal
Krishna
Reddy
and
Gautham
Vasudev
Menon
among
others.
Speaking
at
the
event,
actor-filmmaker
Sripriya
said:
"It's
so
raw
and
stylish,
I
doubt
if
it's
a
Tamil
film."
Dhanush
said
that
his
dream
is
to
receive
an
award
from
Kamal,
and
also
admitted
that
he's
one
of
his
biggest
admirers.
Kamal,
speaking
at
the
occasion,
said
the
film
is
a
genuine
bilingual.
"Unlike
most
films,
we
didn't
dub
the
film
in
Telugu.
Each
shot
was
mostly
canned
twice
in
Tamil
as
well
as
Telugu.
It's
an
authentic
bilingual
that
we
completed
in
just
60
days," he
said.
The
film
was
simultaneously
shot
in
Telugu
as
Cheekati
Rajyam.
Scheduled
to
release
worldwide
next
month,
the
film
also
stars
Prakash
Raj,
Sampath,
Kishore,
Trisha
Krishnan
and
Madhu
Shalini
in
important
roles.
