Kolaveri's the rage. It's driven the world into a frenzy —spawning a new form of expression as well as inspiring flash mobs, different versions across languages, remixes and parodies around the world. Now, fans of the song have a lot more to look forward to. Composer Anirudh is planning on touring the country soon and give audiences a taste of some live Kolaveri. Also in the pipeline is a performance at the IPL 2012 inauguration.
A source close to Anirudh says that he has been approached to do a multicity tour with different artists. "For the concert, there are plans to rope in Arjun, who did the R 'n' B remix of the song, as well as singer Sonu Nigam's son Nevaan, who did the 'kiddie version'. Both versions of the video have been popular online too. So, it felt like a good plan to include them," says the source, While the participation of Dhanush, the hero of 3 which features Kolaveri di.., is expected, the source adds that decisions including the dates of the tour will be confirmed only in tune with the actor-singer's schedule. Talking about the tour, Anirudh says, "Yes, there is a plan to put together a Kolaveri tour and a performance at the inauguration of this year's IPL. But it's all still in a proposal stage and most of the details including the dates and venues are yet to be finalized." While the question remains as to what the composer and his team of musicians can do on a live stage with such a popular song, Anirudh says that he has really not even begun thinking what to do with the concert. "We'll begin working on that as soon as everything is confirmed."
