The movie “Malayankunju,” in which Fahadh Faasil stars, is scheduled for release on July 22. Ahead of that day, the producers released the first single from the movie. The lyrical song, “Cholappenne,” is noteworthy for a number of reasons, including the music legend AR Rahman’s comeback to Malayalam film after nearly three decades! Earlier, Sangeeth Sivan’s 1992 film “Yodha,” starring Mohanlal and Jagathy Sreekumar, for which AR Rahman provided the music, was released. The enchanting tune “Cholappenne,” written by Vinayak Sasikumar and sung by Vijay Yesudas, was created by the legendary AR Rahman. The slow-moving music and Vijay Yesudas’s deep voice dissolve into one another. The song has definitely caught the attention of music fans and has a charming old-world feel.

“Here’s the first track from Malayankunju. Composed by none other than A.R. Rahman. rendered by Vijay Yesudas. #Malayankunju #Cholappenne,” Fahadh Faasil said, launching the song.
