Ain’t sure whether we have come across any songs sung by the ever-talented director Venkat Prabhu but his latest offering for a Singapore drama series, Ming Lee C/o Manickam has etched on our minds and hearts.
Venkat Prabhu; The ace filmmaker turns into a playback singer by crooning for a soulful song bearing the title Aaraariro, which depicts the bond of a mother and son. Composed by Kala Charan, the full enchanting lyrics were penned by Yuwaji, and this could be one of the best soul-stirring tunes due to its deep descriptive lyrics. If you guys are staying away from your ‘Amma’, guess it might be a lil heartbreaking.
There’s a saying that, nothing can be compared to a mother’s love, not money or materialistic things.

Directed by JK Saravana, ‘Ming Lee C/o Manickam’ revolves around a Chinese boy who is being fostered into an Indian family.
