A nice mention by Rivjot bro..! Not so long ago...with due respects, Usha Uthap sang the original "Vandeeeee Mataram" in her own style..there wasn't any hoopla and cry about it..! And i don't understand why some of the veterans who have been soo successful in their hey days fail to whole heartedly accept the next gen Icons..??!!! I'm sure Manna Saab wouldn't be speaking his heart in the interview..since AR doesn't rest without touching the hearts of the people..!!! Manna Saab...you ought to speak from your heart!!!!
