That is, S.R.Nathan, the sixth president of Singapore, who is a native of Tamil Nadu, had asked Deva’s music for the song “Tanjavuru Mananu Ella” to be played during his funeral.
Accordingly, the song was played during Nathan’s funeral, and the news of that event spread not only in Singapore but also in countries like Malaysia and Thailand, and the song composed by Deva was played in translation.

Actor Rajini, who shared this event on the stage of Deva’s music concert, expressed his displeasure that no media in Tamil Nadu published the work of composer Deva, who was highly praised by people in other countries, and insisted that such events should be made known.
Along with this video going viral, the video of ‘Thanjavur Mannu Teh’ played during the funeral of former President of Singapore Nathan, which Rajini remembered, is also being shared.
