Dhanush speaks about his Kolaveri Di number...
"It feels nice when people are open with their praise for your work. I honestly didn't think the song would be such a craze. This has made me realize that people universally want only simple lyrics and simpler tune from filmmakers," begins Dhanush, who has both penned the lyrics and sung the Kolaveri number, "My poor broken English lyrics, written in a silly tone, and borderline singing has proved to be advantageous for the success of this song."
He continues, "I agree the lyrics is absolute nonsense and is written in Tanglish. That's probably why people everywhere relate to it." But the actor says it doesn't mean he will continue to write only conversational lyrics in future as well.
"The other songs in the film are both poetic and simple. I understand that at times, lyrics should make sense," he smiles. Meanwhile, he is very happy with the comments he has been getting from some of the biggest names in the industry. "It was nice of Amitabh Bachchan to listen to our song and congratulate us for it. My father-in-law, Rajinikanth, is equally thrilled, and he is proud his daughter Aishwaryaa has come out of his shadow to make a name for herself," he says.
