Before the release of the 2017 Tamil film Kaatru Veliyidai, there was a lot of buzz about Aditi Rao Hydari playing the lead female role. She was cast in an important Mani Ratnam film for more than just her good looks; It was his voice that attracted people towards him.
During the promotion of the film he suddenly started singing the beautiful song “Vaan Varuvan”, which made a big impact.
This is Aditi’s first song as a solo artist
It is now 2023, and Aditi Rao Hydari is making waves with her singing as well as acting in a few films in different languages. For Coke Studio Tamil Season 2, she worked with producer Sean Roldan and lyricist Vignesh Shivan on the techno-pop song “Please Purinjukko”, which was her most recent song as a singer.
“Please Purinjukko”, which is about relationships in today’s busy world, is Aditi’s first song as a solo artist. She doesn’t want to auto-tune. Those who sing it should be happy. Because she grew up with good music, “If my voice is auto-tuned, I feel like I’ve cheated. The best review ‘Please Purinjukko’ got was when Shawn told me he didn’t need auto-tune on my vocals”, she says.
It’s something he hasn’t heard before: a scratch track. “But even at that time it had an earworm quality.”
It’s great that Aditi is supporting musicians who are working on their own projects, which is a trend that has increased a lot recently.
Aditi said that composers rarely showcase their musicality in mainstream films. Solo music aids communication in a variety of situations.
Popular movies and song and dance shows are fun, but I can always make a short video or film to convey something. Also, independent music provides opportunities to musicians.

After working with Aditi in “Please Purinjukko”, Sean asked Siddharth to sing a song in the Tamil film Lover. Do actors’ voices make an idea better? Many of our best actors can sing and dance, and practically every scene requires some kind of music.
Especially in India, there is no story or film that does not use music or dance to show something.
