Noted playback singer Sayanora has turned music composer for the Suraj Venjaramoodu-starrer Kuttanpillayude Sivarathri. The first song from the film, Chakka Paattu, an upbeat number all about the jackfruit and the culinary delights that can be prepared with it, was released recently.

The song has been picturised on the lead characters Kuttanpillai and Sakunthala, who play cops in the film. The number mentions the jackfruit tree on their land and talks about how their love for it is more than for their three children.

Reports indicate that the album will comprise three songs, with Chakka Paattu being the first single to have been released. With renowned lyricist Anvar Ali penning the lyrics, the number has been crooned by Sannidhanandan and RJ Nimmy.
