'Vizhithidu Nenje...' says Rahman for Dhanush
That A R Rahman is scoring music for a Dhanush starrer ('Mariyaan') for the first time is known to many. The unknown thing is that the Oscar winner, besides composing the tunes, has also lent his voice.
"Rahman has crooned the number 'Vizhithidu Nenje...' and it has come very good. The maestro's voice has done the much needed magic to the song," say sources in the know.
They add: "The number was recently shot on the lead pair- Dhanush and Parvathy- and the visuals were extraordinary. Rahman's composition and the way the song has been canned will make it stand out from the list."
Produced by Aascar Ravichandran, 'Mariyaan' is directed by Bharat Bala, who shares a close rapport with Rahman. In fact, it was this duo (Rahman and Bharat Bala) who gave us 'Vandemataram' in 1997.

Actress Karthika in London School of Economics
If you think 'Ko' girl Karthika is focusing on her acting career alone, you are wrong. The actress is simultaneously doing a business degree through correspondence from the London School of Economics.
"I always love to learn new things and being the eldest kid of the family, I have to take care of our (hotel) family business. In fact, before entering into acting, I was a sincere student," Karthika says.
The daughter of yesteryear top heroine Radha adds: "But this doesn't mean that I will not concentrate on acting. I will sail on both the boats without rocking either of them."
Karthika is on the verge of finishing Bharathiraja's 'Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum'. Her father runs hotel business in Mumbai and hence, the actress is shuttling between Mumbai and Chennai to take care of her interests.
