Shake that booty Shekara: 'Jimmiki Kammal' fame Shaan Rahman’s next quirky album

Written by : TNM Staff

Composer Shaan Rahman who set the tune for the viral Jimmiki Kammal song from the Lal Jose film Velipadinte Pusthakam, is back with another quirky album.

This time, it is for the Vineeth Sreenivasan film Aana Alaralodalaral (quite a tongue-twister that!) directed by Dileep Menon. The audio of the five songs from the film was released on YouTube.

Vineeth posted on Facebook that he was looking forward to hearing the feedback from fans.

Shekara is a fun song about the elephant Shekara and has lines like, "Shake that booty Shekara!" along with Malayalam lines that celebrate the pachyderm.

Sunnath Kalyanam appears to be a nikkah song, with a mix of traditional music and the modern. And of course, references to biryani!

Neeyum Njanum is a romantic melody, which sounds like the hero thinking about the woman he has fallen for.

Sthothram and Shaanti are the other two songs in the album, with Vineeth having sung the last one.

The film also stars Anu Sithara, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Thesni Khan and Mamukoyya.

At the audio launch, Vineeth and Shaan together sang Jimmiki Kammal, much to the delight of fans. Released for Onam this year, the song went unimaginably viral, with even American TV show host Jimmy Kimmel tweeting about it.

Even though the film, Velipadinte Pusthakam, a Mohanlal-starrer, opened to mixed reviews, the song went on to become wildly popular. There were several spin-off videos of the song, some of them becoming more famous than the original.

Shaan and Vineeth have had successful associations before this, including Thattathin Marayathu. The composer made his debut in 2009.

Vineeth Sreenivasan last appeared in Oru Cinemakkaran which received mixed reviews. The actor has also produced and directed films, including Malarvaadi Arts Club which marked the debut of Nivin Pauly. Vineeth has sung many songs in his eventful career.
