Tamil actor Dhanush has crooned the title song of Sai Dharam Tej's Telugu film "Thikka," for which S Thaman has composed the music. Its audio album will be launched at a grand function to be held on July 30.

Dhanush debuted as a playback singer after singing for the movie "Pudhukottaiyilirundhu Saravanan" in 2004. Later, he recorded some songs for films like "Pudhupettai" (2006), "Aayirathil Oruvan" (2010) and "Mayakkam Enna" (2011). But it was song "Kolaveri di," from the movie "3," which made him an internet phenomenon. He has also sung for few Kannada and Telugu films.
