How Khatija Rahman sang Enthiran track!
For the first time, double Oscar winner A.R. Rahman's eldest daughter Khatija Rahman has sung for a film. This song is the opening track 'Pudiya Manidha' in Enthiran which she has sung�with�ARR and ace singer S.P. Balasubramanyam.
During the audio launch of Enthiran, Rahman revealed just how this happened, “I did not plan on bringing Khatija into singing. I was composing for the�song 'Pudhiya Manidha' at my studio in Chennai. As usual, it was past midnight and I needed a child’s voice for it. I thought instead of calling someone at that late hour, why not my own daughter? And that’s how the idea originated. When I called her on the intercom, she asked, 'You want me to come at this time?' "
"I said, 'Okay, fine. If you are not coming now, I will take someone else.' But even before I could finish my sentence, she said, 'I will be there in two minutes, appa.' After finishing her part effortlessly she said, 'Are you happy pa? I just want to tell you that after staying up so late, I am not going to school tomorrow!' "
