As we have reported earlier, ÂVanganna Vanakkanganna, a popular hit song from ÂThalaiva composed by G.V.Prakash and sung by actor Vijay who did the lead role in the film, has received the Most Popular Tamil Song award in Gaana Awards.
ÂGaana Awards is an initiative by Times Internet. The awards are determined based on actual play-outs and user consumption across digital platforms on Gaana.com which is India's No.1 music broadcasting service with 9 million active monthly users and 6 million apps downloaded in about a year's time.
Young composer G.V.Prakash who is highly elated recalled that the song remained as number one for 14 weeks in a countdown of top 20 songs of a popular FM station. Earlier ÂYathe Yathe from ÂAadukalam composed by the same composer had remained at the top for 12 weeks.
Prakash also revealed another interesting detail about the peppy number from ÂThalaivaÂ. When he conveyed his decision to make actor Vijay sing the song, it was director A.L.Vijay who suggested that the song start with ÂVanganna Vanakkanganna. The lyricist Na.Muthukumar retained them as the first two words and wrote the song.
Prakash also recalled that when he conveyed that the song has received the award. ÂIlayathalabathi Vijay had said, ÂIt is a super song and it deserves an awardÂ.
