Dhanush is elated today, for not just one but two reasons, both which happen to be related to his blockbuster songs. His songs 'Kolaveri Di' and 'Rowdy Baby' broke records on the same day i.e. November 16.
Dhanush became popular after crooning his movie '3' song 'Kolaveri Di'. The actor and his co-star of the film Shruti Haasan had sung the song together, and it soon went viral. The single came out nine years back.
Some years later, 'Rowdy Baby', from Dhanush and Sai Pallavi's 'Maari 2', crossed the billion mark on YouTube. It is also the first South Indian song to reach a billion views. Dhanush shared the news on his social media handles.
"What a sweet coincidence this is. Rowdy baby hits 1 billion views on same day of the 9th anniversary of Kolaveri di. We are honoured that this is the first South Indian song to reach 1 billion views. Our whole team thanks you from the heart," he tweeted.

Dhanush more recently recorded a song for his upcoming Hindi movie 'Atrangi Re'. The actor was seen with music composer AR Rahman. It would be the first time that Dhanush sings a song in a Hindi film.
'Atrangi Re', directed by Aanand L Rai, also stars Sara Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar in the lead roles. It is the first time that all the three actors will be working together.
