Why this song in particular ?

viLaiyAttu reference, may be (sadu gudu)...

I think the strong "pulam peyarndha eezhaththamizhar" population in London / UK (or in EU in general / Canada) has brought Thamizh into some focus in olympics!

I saw an official olympic "welcome" video on youtube yesterday, that starts with 'vaNakkam' by a Thamizh child (Followed by greeting in a ton of other languages; there's another pulam peyarndha thamizhar who says a sentence in Thamizh in that video as well).

Also, the famous singer M.I.A. of UK is of eezham origin who gets connected with such events. (She was on superbowl with Madonna ; it's very much possible that she knows a lot of TFM ; she worked with ARR for SDM)
