Mahadevan gifts Diwali tunes
Singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan has collaborated for the first time with both his sons Siddharth and Shivam for a new song Dilwali Diwali. Composed by Siddharth and Soumil and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the song is being launched on FM station Radio City on the occasion of Diwali. It is fun and festive, and will be played across 33 cities that the station is present in. Mahadevan said, “Music connects all of us universally! For us, everything we do is Dil se and we wanted to help everyone celebrate this Diwali filled with lots of love, ladoos, laughter and joy all rolled into one; bringing my two amazing sons and me together for first time ever with our song Dilwali Diwali.”
‘If that was the case, then I wouldn't be working with a lot of co-stars because link-up rumour is something that the media is obsessed with. It's important to continue working with them because you know yourself that they (rumours) are not true.’
