Rahman number during a dinner event which was hosted at US Chief of Naval Operations’ (CNO) place. Not only did the video go viral, but it also got retweets from the composer of the song A.R. Rahman along with Shahrukh Khan and Ashutosh Gowarikar who were part of the film Swades which featured the song.
