Southern star Dhanush sang a tweaked version of his hit Tamil-English song Kolaveri Di, dedicated to Amitabh Bachchan at an award function in Mumbai, leaving the megastar highly impressed.

The event, the Big Star Entertainment Awards, was held on Sunday. Bachchan received two awards, and he was overwhelmed.

"Oh dear me lots of things to say... just back from Big Star Entertainment Awards and... they gave me two awards... best actor in social role for Aarakshan and the second for the Complete Entertainer of the year... I am blessed!!' Bachchan posted on Twitter.

When Bachchan received the awards, Dhanush, son-in-law of movie icon Rajnikanth, stood up and sang a "Big B" version of Kolaveri Di.

Bachchan described the moment in a tweet, saying: "And... when complete Entertainer announced, Dhanush sings live from audience, a Kolaveri Di number, but words to suit the occasion!! Dhanush's words were ‘Why this Kolaveri, Kolaveri, Kolaveri... B... big B... TRP'. Brilliant absolutely!! So lovable and so good!"
