Trivia
Kadhalaada was composed by Anirudh Ravichander for the 2017 Tamil action thriller Vivegam, starring Ajith Kumar and Kajal Aggarwal. Unlike the rest of the film's high-octane rock/hip-hop soundtrack, this track stands out for combining Carnatic classical swaras (solfege notes) with modern orchestral arrangements, sung by Pradeep Kumar and Shashaa Tirupati.
