Trivia
Composed by Harris Jayaraj with lyrics and vocals by Gaana Bala alongside Vijay Prakash, 'Adhaaru Adhaaru' served as a massive mass intro track for Ajith Kumar in Yennai Arindhaal (2015). Despite director Gautham Vasudev Menon being known for slick urban dramas, this track embraced local 'kuthu' energy and became an instant street anthem across Tamil Nadu.
