Two top icons of Indian cinema, Superstar Rajinikanth and Big B Amitabh Bachchan, have appreciated Dhanush for penning and crooning 'Why this kolaveri....’ the '3' song which has become a craze all over India.

Happy about this development, Dhanush, the 'poetu' and 'singeru', says, "It was so kind of the Big B to listen to our song and congratulate us for it. We all are great admirers of him and his words mean a lot to every one of us."

On the reaction from Rajini, his father-in-law, Dhanush says, "The Superstar is very thrilled. He is so happy about the song becoming such a hit. He is proud that Aishwarya has come out of his shadow and has carved a niche for herself in the industry."

The song that came out just days ago has already notched up more than 3 million hits and its fan following includes the young and the old, the commoner and the celeb crowd.

Seldom has any song created such a craze with over 8.2 M links shared on networking sites in less than a week, a Sony Music statement said.
