The multilingual singer talks about being a multilingual singer and about finding his space in the industry

Yazin Nizar is on a high as he was able to sing under AR Rahman’s baton after all these years. He has sung for the composer in Galatta Kalyanam, the Tamil dubbed version of Atrangi Re, starring Dhanush, Sara Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar. He has sung a melody number, ‘Kaadhalai solla mudiyaadha’, with Shashaa Tirupati.

The film, directed by Aanand L Rai, releases on Disney+ Hotstar on December 24.

“I had sung in the background score of some of Rahman sir’s projects. But this is my first release and I am thrilled,” says the Chennai-based singer. “I had come down to my home in Kollam, Kerala when I got a message late at night to reach Rahman sir’s studio in Chennai. It was a call I had been waiting for. So I took the first flight the next morning.”
