It’s not every day that Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman tweets about a song from a Kannada film. So, when he appreciated Naguva Kalisu from the upcoming film, Mundina Nildana, which was released on YouTube, the director’s joy knew no bounds.

According to debutant director Vinay Bharadwaj, it is one of the best heartbreak songs of the season, which is why it has caught Rahman’s attention. “The entire team is on cloud nine after he appreciated our work,” he says.

The film brings together seven different musicians who have composed various tracks. This particular song has been composed by Jim Satya, who has programmed music for many blockbuster movies such as Barfi and Yeh Jawani Hain Deewani. This will be his first song composition for a Kananda film.

While the lyrics have been written by Kiran Kaverappa, the track is sung by Ananta Bhat and Narayan Sharma. The song is out on PRK's YouTube channel.

Mundina Nildana, which will see a worldwide release on November 29, features Praveen Tej, Radhika Narayan and Ananya Kashyap.
