Written by : Digital Native

Music composer Anirudh's latest single 'Kalyaana Vayasu' from Nayanathara's upcoming Tamil movie Kolamavu Kokila has clocked 5 million views and is making waves on the Internet.

The song sung by Anirudh Ravichander and penned by actor Sivakarthikeyan, features comedian Yogi Babu and Nayanthara is a hilarious take on romance. However, it came under the scanner for being too similar to Sannan’s 'Don’t Lie' and was accused to be a rip-off.

As a response to the allegations, Anirudh took to Twitter on Monday, and said that the beat of the song which is said to be a rip-off was a licensed version.

He tweeted, "5.5+Million Views in 4 days, 165K+Likes and still Trending at Number Truly Grateful for this Support! And for the lack of awareness, I work with a lot of music producers worldwide and this beat is licensed from @beatsbymantra."

Kolamavu Kokila is an action dark drama that centers around Nayanthara. Nayan will play the lead and she is rumoured to be playing the role of a drug peddler. This will be Nayanthara’s second film after Aramm to revolve around her character. The film also has Saranya Ponvannan, Yogi Babu, Jacqueline and Nisha while the rest of the cast is yet to be revealed.The technical crew of Kolamavu Kokila includes Anirudh Ravichander for music, Sivakumar Vijayan for cinematography and Nirmal for editing.
