Chennai:
Director Rajesh M Selva said on October 7 that the musical number from upcoming Tamil thriller Thoongaavanam is an advance birthday gift from the film's team to its lead actor Kamal Haasan.
Mr Haasan turns 61 on November 7.
"We are releasing the single track from our film exactly a month before Kamal sir's birthday. This is our birthday gift to him," Rajesh told reporters in Chennai.
Sun by Mr Haasan himself, the single Neeye Unakku Raja was released at a star-studded event in Chennai.
In attendance were Tamil stars such as Dhanush, Vishal Krishna Reddy and Gautham Vasudev Menon.
Speaking at the event, actor-filmmaker Sripriya Sethupathi said: "It's so raw and stylish, I doubt if it's a Tamil film."
Dhanush said that his dream is to receive an award from Kamal Haasan and also admitted that he's one of his biggest admirers.
The 60-year-old actor, speaking on the occasion, said that the film is a genuine bilingual.
"Unlike most films, we didn't dub the film in Telugu. Each shot was mostly shot twice in Tamil as well as Telugu. It's an authentic bilingual that we completed in just 60 days," he said.
The film was simultaneously shot in Telugu as Cheekati Rajyam.
Scheduled to release worldwide on November 10, the film also stars Prakash Raj, Sampath, Kishore, Trisha Krishnan and Madhu Shalini in important roles. (Also Read: Thoongaavanam Trailer 2: Kamal Haasan Gets Hurt. A Lot)
