Mollywood actor Neeraj Madhav who made his debut in Tamil with Gautham Menon's latest release 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu' has revealed that he has also rapped a verse in the movie, in collaboration with legendary musician A R Rahman.

The actor took to social media to share his happiness, calling it a 'fanboy moment'. “Yes, I wrote & sang for A R Rehman !!! Manifest, and dreams do come true !”, he wrote.

During my speech at #VTK audio launch I happened to sing a verse dedicated to @arrahman in front of him. The next thing I know I’m sitting with the legend himself in his studio and making this track ! True fanboy moment ! ‘Venth Thaninthath Kaadu’ in theatres now. My Tamil debut as an actor & a rapper,” he further wrote.
