Rahman talks about 'kolaveri...'

Cinemimi[Wednesday, January 04, 2012]
There was a grapevine that A R Rahman liked 'Why this kolaveri di...', though there was no official confirmation about it. Now, the Oscar-Grammy winner himself has admitted that the song composed by Anirudh and written-crooned by Dhanush is 'sweet'.

"Why this kolaveri di... is a sweet song. It has got a fresh new sound. Its composer is a young guy. It's a clutter breaker song," said Rahman in an interview. "It became a hit due to the internet, the way it went viral," he added.

Recently, Rahman was caught in a controversy but he cleared the air with a statement. "My statement was taken out of context and I was being misquoted. It's very unfortunate. I cannot forget the contributions of Tamils in my growth," he said. Rahman said he respected the stand of former President APJ Abdul Kalam on this Mullaiperiyar issue, who has favoured inter-linking of rivers to solve water problems.
