“Remember when we asked all of you to suggest some funky ideas for re-arranging ‘Take It Easy Urvasi’. Well, we had a lot of great ideas flowing, and it was tough to pick and choose, but we’ve finally gone ahead with contributions from...,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
He had selected lines written by Prasad Krishna (“Beltu Potoom Veshti Avundha”), Achintya Vatlu (“Helmet Potoom Mama Pidicha”), Rajesh Rajamani (“Kadalai Naduvil Battery Thirndal”) and Dileep Balaji (“Kizhinja Panta Fashion Nu Sonna”).
The composer is likely to use these lines in future performances of his hit song.
