Talking about the same, Malaika Arora Khan posted a still from her song 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' and wrote- "♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ @iamsrk@farahkhankunder @manishmalhotra05@arrahman #maniratnamsir #dilse". This hindi version of AR Rahman's 'Thayya Thayya' became an overnight hit in 1998 and has managed to retain its freshness over the years.

Choreographer Farah Khan's decision to shoot the song on top of a moving train, was what made the song a masterpiece. The song even featured as one of the top 10 songs of all time in an international poll conducted by The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). 'Dil Se..' portrays a tragic love-story with a backdrop of terrorism and insurgency in Northeast India, which completed Ratnam's terror-drama after 'Roja' and 'Bombay.' (with inputs from ANI)
