Trivia
Composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja for the film Sarvam (2009), this energetic western-pop/club track famously features legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja on vocals alongside Andrea Jeremiah and Javed Ali. Hearing Ilaiyaraaja render a ultra-modern techno-dance track composed by his son Yuvan became one of the biggest promotional highlights of the soundtrack.
