Actor Kamal Haasan and composer A.R. Rahman recently sat down together for a live chat and one of the may topics discussed during it were their upcoming film Thalaivan Irukkindran. Rahman is composing for Kamal after a gap of 19 years with this movie and he has already completed 2 songs for it. 

Speaking about one of them, Kamal Haasan said, "After Indian album, if I had to pick one favourite AR Rahman song, it would be the unreleased special track from our upcoming film (Thalaivan Irukkindran).. For me, it is the best of Rahman.. I have never heard a song like that..I would have felt bad if that song wasn’t been created for my film. I even asked Rahman if we can release the song as a private album if we couldn’t release the film."

Haasan also elaborated on how the song came into being. He said, "When I met Rahman for that song, people thought, the song would take months to shape out. We met, we were talking for so long..then Rahman asked me if I could write the lyrics by the next morning. I came back around 2-2.30 and I gave him the full lyrics by 8.30 and we recorded the song that evening itself and nobody could believe it,”
