Nick Jonas seems to have developed a new Bollywood song obsession every time he prepares for a concert. The singer has often turned to popular Hindi film tracks to build excitement before taking the stage. This time, however, he switched things up by surprising his Indian fans with a Tamil independent music hit. Nick, along with his brothers Joe and Kevin Jonas and their bandmates, was seen dancing to Radhimaa, the viral track composed by rising music sensation Sai Abhyankkar.
In a heartwarming video shared on social media, Nick and the others can be seen breaking into dance as Radhimaa plays in the background. The clip featured a simple but warm 'Happy Diwali' greeting, although it was the unexpected choice of music that caught everyone's attention.
Sai Abhyankkar, who composed the track and also appeared in its music video, was delighted by the gesture. Reacting to Nick's post, the young composer commented, "Brothaa (sic)," along with a heart emoji. The moment clearly left him excited to see his music gaining recognition beyond India.
Fans were equally enthusiastic about the video. Nick, who is affectionately known as India's National Jiju (brother-in-law) because of his marriage to Priyanka Chopra, has now become part of another fun fan moment. The song features the phrase 'thangamaana paiyan' (golden boy), which fans have playfully associated with Nick after watching him dance to the Tamil track. His popular National Jiju title has now received a Tamil twist!
Nick's appreciation for Indian music is nothing new. Before his concerts, he has frequently surprised fans by posting videos of himself listening to or dancing to popular Hindi film songs. However, his latest musical choice has given Tamil music enthusiasts a special reason to celebrate.
All about Radhimaa
Radhimaa is an upbeat Tamil independent single composed, sung and produced by Sai Abhyankkar, with lyrics penned by Vivek. Released on August 24, the song features actor Bhagyashri Borse alongside Sai in its music video, which was directed by Thejo Bharathwaj. At the time of publication, the track had accumulated 117 million views on YouTube.
The song gained popularity among Tamil music listeners for its catchy melody, energetic beats and playful lyrics. The phrase 'thangamaana paiyan' (golden boy) became one of its most memorable elements. It is also part of Sai's expanding independent music catalogue, which includes popular tracks such as Katchi Sera, Aasa Kooda and Pavazha Malli.
With Radhimaa becoming part of the Jonas Brothers' Diwali celebrations, Sai Abhyankkar has received an unexpected moment of international recognition. Meanwhile, Nick has once again won over Indian fans, this time through his love for Tamil music.
