Music director D Imman has roped in two hugely popular singers, SP Balasubrahmanyam and Shankar Mahadevan, for the intro song in Jilla.

The song, which was recorded last week, will be a fast-paced number talking about the qualities of the film’s main characters, played by Mohanlal and Vijay.

Says Imman, “Though the two singers have sung together earlier, I’m hoping that this one becomes the definitive song featuring this combo. SPB sir has sung the lines for Mohanlal while Shankar sir has crooned Vijay’s lines. I’ve tried to make the song musically interesting as well. Since it is a song full of energy, I’ve used chendai beats, which are normally used in our film songs in the background, as the predominant beats.”
