Bharadwaj joins forces with lyricist Yugabharathi to create Sudum Varai Neruppu, a powerful anthem from the album Jananam. The song features vocalists Karthik, Tippu, Timmy, Yugendran, and MK Balaji, blending their voices for a unified call to action. Together, they craft a melody that stirs the spirit and ignites a sense of purpose.
Yugabharathi writes lyrics that echo the struggles and aspirations of the youth, with lines like ‘Let the student community arise, Let a transformed society bloom.’ The wordsmith uses vivid contrasts, from fire to roots, to inspire unity and ambition. The narrator paints a vision of a new India shaped by the hands of its young fighters.
