Simbu is a happy man. Ever since his single Yevan di… from the film Vaanam hit music stores, Chennai has been humming the song.
And soon, of  B-town will follow suit.
The actor who is in Mumbai shooting for the video of the song is kicked about lending his voice for the Hindi version. “This is my first attempt in Bollywood. Initially, the team was not sure whether the single would work as it was just one song,” says Simbu, whose character in the film is called `Cable Raja’.
All their doubts were swept aside the minute the Tamil version of the song was released. “Venus Company
was extremely pleased with the outcome and they wanted a Hindi version. So we decided that we’d release a video album of the track.” After lending his voice for the Hindi version, Simbu, who has no experience of singing in Hindi, says, “I enjoyed recording for my first Hindi song.
Shabeer Ahmed has penned the lyrics for this version.”
The actor says, “I tried to understand the lyrics while recording and though I’m not too comfortable with the language, I’m sure I’ll perfect it in future.”
This may be his debut song in Hindi, but singing by itself is not new to the actor, who says he’d welcome similar offers in Bollywood films. “Why not?
It’s pocket money, so I’ll surely take it up.”
The track will be filmed on various sets and the actor says, “Ahmed Khan, who choreographed the Tamil song, will be doing the Hindi version as well.
We’ve already discussed the sets and sequence.”
According to the actor, huge sets have been erected to go with the theme of the song. Hip-hop and jazz will be the highlights of its choreography. “It’s a typical club scene,” adds Simbu.
Ask him about who’s pairing up with him for the Hindi song and he says, “Jasmine danced with me for Vaanam and we have signed up a new girl for the Hindi version.”
The video album is likely to release around April 9, which is the tentative date of release for Vaanam.
