Though `araichcha mAvu' in the DF, reading this interview by Malayalam singer MG Sreekumar, raised the question - If Bollywood is so specific about this, why our fellows are not?
"Priyan had made me sing for his Hindi film that was produced by Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd. Nadeem and Shravan were the music directors and they made me sing `Jhoot Bolu Na' instead of `Jhoot Bolo Na.' Amitabh was reportedly unhappy with the diction and he had the songs sung by another singer. However, Malayalis do not seem to have a problem with diction or pronounciation. So, we have singers from Bollywood whose songs are hits in Malayalam. Malayalis seem to be more magnanimous."
