Being the elder sister, I completely resonate with Elsa's feelings towards Anna, and will do the same for my sister (actress Akshara Haasan). Elsa is every girl's role model, and I am elated to lend my voice and get the opportunity to sing for Elsa's character in Tamil. In addition to their gripping and engaging stories, songs in such animated movies hold a very special place in the hearts of fans, and (I) look forward to present the sequel to my fans and my Tamil audiences."
