October 15 was the birth anniversary of former President APJ Abdul Kalam. GV Mediaworks has come up with a medley of songs by AR Rahman to pay a tribute to one of India's most beloved presidents.

Beginning with the Thozha song from Azhagiya Tamizhmagan, the video traces young Kalam's life from the time he was selling newspapers to how he became India's Missile Man and later President.

Other songs include Ini oru vidhi seivom from Ayutha Ezhuthu and Thai Manne Vanakkam from Rahman's Vande Mataram album. Both AR Rahman and Abdul Kalam are from Tamil Nadu and went on to achieve international fame. The song also celebrates the connection between them while paying tribute to Abdul Kalam.

Posted on October 15, the video has since gone viral.
