After years-long long delay, Sony Music South announced on Twitter on Saturday that the song Oru Manam, from Gautham Vasudev Menon‘s Dhruva Natchathiram featuring Vikram, Ritu Varma, Aishwarya Rajessh, and Simran in lead roles, will be soon be released.
The song, composed by Harris Jayaraj, with lyrics by Thamarai, is sung by Shashaa Tirupati and Karthik. This marks the seventh collaboration of the director and the music composer after their 2015 release Yennai Arindhaal featuring Ajith Kumar. The duo’s other works include Minnale (2001) and its Hindi remake Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein, Kaakha Kaakha (2003), Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu (2006), Pachaikili Muthucharam (2007), and Vaaranam Aayiram (2008).
According to The Times of India, the song was supposed to release back in 2018 and has only released now because of delayed film production. The film, which went on floors in 2016 and was shot across seven countries, was delayed due to technical issues.
