Rakesh Nooranadu and Shankar Mahadevan
After Dancing Uncle Sanjeev Shrivastav's video that broke the internet recently, now daily wage worker Rakesh Nooranadu has become an overnight sensation on social media.
His soulful rendition of the Tamil song, Unnai Kaanadhu Naan, from Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam (2012) has sent netizens into a tizzy. Shankar Mahadevan, who has rendered the original track, tweeted, "This is called fruit of labour. When we hear this, it just makes me feel so proud of our country that produces so much talent and is so rich in culture. Who is this guy? How can I trace him? Need help and would like to work with him (sic)." Rakesh loves to sing while at work in a rubber plantation. The video was recorded and uploaded by a friend.
