Perhaps Yuvan has plans to pull off a coup of sorts, having famous musicians sing to his tunes! After making dad Illayaraja lend his steely voice for a few songs, and approaching Rahman twice to sing for him, Yuvan Shankar Raja has made his brother Karthik Raja sing for a song in ‘16’.

'16', directed by Sabapathy, has Mirchi Siva in the lead, with new comer Madhu Shalini playing his love. Produced by Siva Sankar, it has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The movie has an important song in the flashback portion for which Yuvan considered Karthik’s voice to be ideal. And Karthik, on his brother’s request, has recorded the song.

Karthik Raja himself, who many in the industry acknowledge as a musical genius, is hoping for a good break with his current project, through Thamira’s ‘Rettaisuzhi’. Karthik Raja has many popular tunes to his credit, including those in movies 'Kadhala Kadhala', 'Ullasam' and 'Dum Dum Dum'.
