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 iskicked about lending his voice for the Hindi version. “This is my firstattempt in Bollywood. Initially, the team was not sure whether thesingle would work as it was just one song,” says Simbu, whose characterin 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 extremelypleased with the outcome and they wanted a Hindi version. So we decidedthat we’d release a video album of the track.” After lending his voicefor the Hindi version, Simbu, who has no experience of singing inHindi, 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 recordingand though I’m not too comfortable with the language, I’m sure I’llperfect it in future.”
This may be his debut song in Hindi, but singing by itself is notnew to the actor, who says he’d welcome similar offers in Bollywoodfilms. “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, “AhmedKhan, who choreographed the Tamil song, will be doing the Hindi versionas well.
We’ve already discussed the sets and sequence.”
According to the actor, huge sets have been erected to go with thetheme of the song. Hip-hop and jazz will be the highlights of itschoreography. “It’s a typical club scene,” adds Simbu.
Ask him about who’s pairing up with him for the Hindi song and hesays, “Jasmine danced with me for Vaanam and we have signed up a newgirl for the Hindi version.”
The video album is likely to release around April 9, which is the tentative date of release for Vaanam.
