The Chennai-based firm said it will facilitate transfer of 51% of the track’s copyright to the winning bid. This would give the NFT holder right to adapt or reproduce the song, and make it available to the public.

The track, record in Tamil language, was the last devotional track recorded by the singer weeks before he passed away in September 2020. 

The album titled ‘Vishwaroopa Darisanam’ was recorded by SPB in collaboration with leading music label company Symphony Records. 

Diginoor has partnered with some of the biggest celebrities and production houses to launch NFTs. This includes production houses like Sivaji Productions, Reliance Entertainment, YNOT Productions, AVM Productions and Thenandal Studio. 

The NFT platform has also launched digital collectibles of Superstar Rajinikanth’s films like Sivaji: the BossChandramukhi and Kabali
