This was because the song was to feature her idol, Crazy Star Ravichandran. During the shoot of the song in the City, Neetu took time out to share her experiences. “I remember being excited and and nervous at the same time. I have grown up watching Ravichandran and the thought of sharing screen space with him was so nerve-racking that I couldn’t sleep at all. I was up by four in the morning on the day of the shoot,” says the actress.

Neetu remembers meeting Ravichandran for the first time during Amrutha Mahotsava, “Those days were so much fun. I made many friends and we used to be in awe of him. While we saw Ravichandran as a teacher then, on the sets I’ve  realised that he is a simple man,” she adds.

Playing the role of a flower girl in the movie, Neetu’s character is crazy about the actor. “In the song, my character gets an opportunity to meet the Crazy Star and talks about her experience,” she says. On the sets, Neetu explains that Ravichandran was very kind and even gave his own inputs to the songs. “The song was fun and challenging for me and since it is picturised in typical Ravichandran style, it is sure to blow away people’s minds,” says the actress.

Directed by J G Krishna, Aithalakadhi is a popular song from the film Gaja. The comedy movie is said to feature over 75 artistes and includes Rangayana Raghu and Bullet Prakash. Apart from Ravichandran, even Jaggesh is said to have appeared in a song from the film.
