Ethir Neechal Trivia 

Ethir Neechal is a Tamil film that belongs to the sports comedy genre. The 2013 movie was directed by R. S. Durai Senthilkumar and produced by Dhanush. The music of the film was given by Anirudh Ravichander, who also was the music director for Dhanush's film titled 3. It remains a lesser-known fact that the song Sathyama Nee Ennaku, also called Local Boys sung by Dhanush was initially written for the movie 3 but was replaced by the hit song Why This Kolaveri Di. Therefore, the former song was used in the film Ethir Neechal. The Tamil sports comedy also had a song by Punjabi rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh. He sang the title track for the movie called Ethir Neechal. 

Talking about his song, Why This Kolaveri Di, Dhanush said in an interview with Pinkvilla that despite the track being a silly one, it holds a really special place in his life. Speaking further about it, he mentioned that he couldn't understand why the song had become such a rage but he was happy that it worked.
