Charulatha Mani Uses Opera Technique in 'Thug Life' Song

Charulatha Mani, a Carnatic singer, incorporated the tremolo technique, borrowed from early opera, into her song 'Anju vanna poove' for the movie 'Thug Life.'

This technique adds a trembling effect to her voice.

Inspired by the lyrics and with A.R. Rahman's approval, Mani used it to convey emotion.

She credits her husband for introducing her to opera, and her research into opera music helped her connect with the emotional aspects of singing, which benefited her film work.

Her work also helped her bridge Carnatic and film music.

This method is considered special and has refreshed her life.
