Young playback singer Nivas of ‘Super Singer’ fame is on cloud nine! He has a reason to rejoice. His recent song ‘Arumbae’ from Vijay Antony’s recently released film Kaaliis trending on social media platforms. Having rendered more than 200 songs in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, Nivas was an instant hit in cinema, thanks to his voice, which was brought out through the reality show.

Talking to DC, Nivas said, “Yes, it was through this show, I was introduced to film industry. I have sung two songs – ‘Arumbae’ and ‘Amma Azhugiren’ in Kaali — in which the former crossed over 1 million YouTube views. It’s happy to know so many people are listening to it. Many are heaping critical praise for the ‘Amma Azhugirn’ number for its poignant touch as they are able to connect emotionally. It’s pouring messages on my social media handles. Thanks to Vijay Antony sir for trusting me. In a way, they motivate me and make me more responsible to perform better in future.”

Talking about his stint with Oscar winner AR Rahman, he said, “I sang in the Telugu version of Rajinikanth sir’s 2.O. The song ‘Randali’ is called ‘Raajaali’ in Tamil. My dream of singing in Rahman sir’s music is fulfilled through this song. I’m a big fan of Superstar Rajinikanth. What more I need. I’ve sung in Rahman’s sir’s music in Superstar’s film which is a Shankar sir directed film.”

Nivas goes ecstatic when he recalls a recent event in which ARR performed too. “I got the opportunity to sing the ‘Aaromale’ song while Rahman sir was playing the grand piano. I can cherish those moments all through my life.” The singer is also geared up with inde albums soon.
