Actor-politician Kamal Haasan today met a daily wage labourer from Kerala who has garnered instant publicity after his rendition of a song from the actor's 2013 hit 'Vishwaroopam' went viral. Haasan was all praise for Rakesh Unni, expressing awe over his singing talent.

"He has no special training, but he sings so well. Imagine what he could do with training and connections with people like (musician) Shankar Mahadevan" Haasan said during his meeting with Unni. Unni's rendition of the song "Unnai Kanamal" from Vishwaroopam had gone viral, drawing accolades from among others, Mahadevan himself, who had sung the song in the film.
