KJ Yesudas is like a banyan tree. Its young ones never sink their roots under the tree's canopy because they just wouldn't survive. KJ Yesudas is still a very popular singer in the Malayalam cine industry. That was one of the reasons why his son Vijay Yesudas was not able to establish himself in Malayalam cinema playback singing in spite of his best attempts.
He had recently made his debut in playback singing in Kannada films, with 'Nenapirali'. Ratnaja is the director of the film. Vijay Yesudas has sung this song for music director Hamsalekha.
But Vijay Yesudas sure has chosen a weird timing to make his debut in Kannada, just when the industry is giving serious thoughts about prohibiting technicians and artistes from other languages from working in their films.
We hope Vijay Yesudas gets his Kannada accent right. Critics in Malayalam weren't all that happy about his Malayalam.
