In 2011, Why This Kolavari Di? leaked online and immediately became viral globally. It raked in millions of views with people taken by the quirky song. “We weren't prepared, and it was a huge shock. Kolaveri Di just happened in our lives. It (the song’s success) put pressure on the film. More than a surprise, it was a shock for me,” Aishwarya told Rednool, adding, “I was trying to tell a different story, but the song swallowed and overshadowed the film. It was very difficult for me. It was a serious film. Not many spoke about the film when it was released.”

Anirudh’s Why This Kolavari Di? was a chartbuster and garnered fans across the globe. The lyrics of the number were in Tanglish (a mix of Tamil and English), they were easy to follow and understand. Dhanush lent his vocals for the number, making it all the more successful. Talking about the song that made Anirudh and Dhanush household names, Aishwarya said, “The song did not help the movie. I am happy if it had helped anyone’s individual career.”
