“I am so lucky to be part of this movie and singing for
a character that Malayalis have not seen.” Singer Sithara was gushing
about her association with Kamal’s Celluloid, the biopic on J.C.
Daniel, better known as the father of Malayalam Cinema, which has opened
to rave reviews at the box office.
Sithara's song,
‘Enundodee ambili chantham…’, which evokes nostalgia with its music and
old-world dialect, is picturised on the character P.K. Rosie, the
heroine of Daniel’s movie, Vigathakumaran, who had to face the ire of the orthodoxy for acting in a movie. Finally, she was forced to leave the city.
The
song has given Sithara a lot to cheer about. “Jayachandran sir
[composer M. Jayachandran] wanted me to sound raw to give a 1930s feel
to the song. That is why I sound so different,” the singer says about
her song. “He has been a guru for me, though we haven’t worked together
earlier.”
