AR Rahman returns to Malayalam cinema after three decades; ‘Cholappenne’ from‘Malayankunju’ out!

Fahadh Faasil starring ‘Malayankunju’ is slated for release on July 22, and ahead of the release, the makers have launched the first single from the film. Titled ‘Cholappenne’, the lyrical song is special for many reasons, including music maestro AR Rahman’s return to Malayalam cinema after nearly three decades! AR Rahman has earlier composed for the 1992 release 'Yodha' starring Mohanlal and Jagathy Sreekumar, directed by Sangeeth Sivan. Penned by Vinayak Sasikumar, and crooned by Vijay Yesudas, 'Cholappenne', is a mellifluous composition by the iconic AR Rahman. The slow-paced composition, with the soulful voice of Vijay Yesudas, melts right into your heart. The song surely has an old-world charm and has struck a chord with music lovers.

“Here's the first track from Malayankunju. Composed by none other than A.R. Rahman. rendered by Vijay Yesudas. #Malayankunju #Cholappenne,” Fahadh Faasil said, launching the song.
