The makers of Meera Kathiravan's Habeebi dropped the first single of the film 'Vallonea Vallonea' crooned by the popular Tamil Islamic devotional singer Nagore Hanifa, through artificial intelligence.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK supremo MK Stalin launched the song with Habeebi's team with him. Apart from devotional songs, Hanifa was also popular for singing DMK's propaganda songs, which are still played in the party's conference. He is fondly mentioned as "Isai Murasu.".

Though his music career is marked with several non-film songs, he has also lent his voice to film songs such as 'Aagum Neriyedhu' (Sorgavasal, 1954), 'Nayagame Nabiye' (Gulebakavali, 1955), 'Ellorum Kondaduvom' (Paava Mannippu, 1961), 'Engumulla Allah' (Dharma Seelan, 1993) and 'Nadodi Nanba Pogaadhe' (Endredrum Kadhal, 1999).

The first single titled 'Vallonea Vallonea' is a song that praises God for his able support in times of uncertainty and crises. The song composed by Sam CS is written by Yugabharathi. The film's star cast includes Kasthuri Raja, Esha, Malavika Manoj and Dhanasree Sudhakaran.

The makers are yet to reveal details regarding the plot and release.
