Haricharan lends his voice to the powerful track ‘Nee Thottale’ from the album ‘Dhurandhar’. Ridhun Sagar pens the lyrics, while Shashwat Sachdev creates a stirring melody. The song tells the story of a fierce protector, declaring his unchallenged authority and love for his motherland.
The poet Ridhun Sagar uses strong imagery to describe a leader’s resolve. ‘If you touch it, your hands will shatter,’ warns the narrator, emphasizing the invincibility of his land. Haricharan delivers these lines with a mix of pride and defiance, adding depth to the message.
Aazham Pakkave Kala VekkuranHe steps in just to test the depth,
Aattu Koottamalike a wandering herd of sheep.
Ini Unava Avarin UnavaWill they become his food now?

Un Ratham Than Rusiyour blood is the only taste left.
Nee Rusi SerkkaFor you to add that bitter flavor,
Nan Than RajaI am the king.

Theriyudheand it’s clearly visible.
Nan Than RajaI am the king.
