He shared the emotional circumstances under which he composed ‘Chinna Chinna Kangal’ for the Vijay-starrer GOAT, which was released yesterday in conjunction with Vijay’s birthday.
The song features vocals by Vijay and the late singer Bhavatharini. Yuvan employed AI technology to incorporate his sister Bhavatharini’s voice into ‘Chinna Chinna Kangal’. This melodious track has touched the hearts of many. Yuvan shared his memories on his X platform about recording his sister’s voice using AI.
