2000-ലാണ് റാഫി-മെക്കാട്ടിന്റെ സംവിധാനം ചെയ്ത സത്യം ശിവം സുന്ദരം എന്ന സിനിമയിലെ സൂര്യനായ്. എന്ന പാട്ടു ഞാൻ പാടിയത്. ഒരു ദിവസം വിദ്യാസാഗറിന്റെ സ്റ്റുഡിയോയിൽനിന്ന് ഒരു പാട്ടു പാടാൻ എന്നെ വിളിച്ചു. കോക്കേഴ്സിന്റെ സിയാദ് കോക്കർ പറഞ്ഞിട്ടാണത്. കോക്കേഴ്സ് ഫിലിംസിന്റെ ഒരുപാടു സിനിമകളിൽ ഞാൻ പാടിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. മറവത്തൂർ കനവ്, സമ്മർ ഇൻ ബത്ലഹേം തുടങ്ങിയവ. ഈ സിനിമയിൽ ശങ്കർ മഹാദേവനു "അങ്ങകലേ എന്നൊരു പാട്ട് ഉണ്ട്. ഞാൻ സ്റ്റുഡിയോയിൽ ചെല്ലുമ്പോൾ അദ്ദേഹം ഈ പാട്ടു പാടി പോയ ശേഷം വിദ്യാസാഗർ ഈ പാട്ട് കേട്ടുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. കൈതപ്രത്തിന്റെ രചനയാണ്. ഞാൻ പാട്ടിന്റെ വരികൾ പേപ്പറിൽ പകർത്തി എഴുതി. കംപോസിങ് മുറിയിൽ ഇരുന്നു പാട്ട് എന്നെ പഠിപ്പിച്ചു. ഒരു മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളിൽ റിക്കോർഡിങ് കഴിഞ്ഞു. കുറച്ചു പാടാൻ ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുള്ള പാട്ടായിരുന്നു. വളരെ ഹൃദയസ്പർശിയായ വരികളായിരുന്നു.
ഇതിനിടയിൽ ദേവദൂതന്റെ പാട്ടിന്റെ വർക്കുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട് സിബി മലയിലും സ്റ്റുഡിയോയിൽ വന്നു. പാട്ടു കേട്ടു സിബിച്ചേട്ടൻ വളരെ മനോഹരമായ പാട്ടാണെന്നും ഇതു ശ്രദ്ധിക്കപ്പെടുമെന്നും പറഞ്ഞു. സിനിമ അത്ര വലിയ വിജയമായില്ല. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ പാട്ടും വലിയ രീതിയിൽ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കപ്പെട്ടില്ല. അന്ന് ഇന്നത്തെപ്പോലെ സോഷ്യൽ മീഡിയയും യുട്യൂബും ഒന്നും ഇല്ലല്ലോ. പതുക്കെപ്പതുക്കെ ആ പാട്ട് ജനങ്ങൾ ഏറ്റെടുത്തു. തുടർന്ന് ധാരാളം റിയാലിറ്റി ഷോകളിൽ ഈ പാട്ട് പാടാൻ തുടങ്ങി. അങ്ങനെയാണ് ഇതൊരു ഹിറ്റ് സോങ്ങായി മാറിയത്.
ഇന്നു ഞാൻ എവിടെ ഗാനമേളയ്ക്കു പോയാലും ഈ പാട്ട് പാടാൻ ആവശ്യപ്പെടാറുണ്ട്. അത്രത്തോളം ഈ പാട്ട് ജനങ്ങളുടെ മനസ്സി നെ സ്വാധീനിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. എന്നെ സംബന്ധിച്ചിടത്തോളം ഈ പാട്ടു പാടാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞത് വലിയൊരു ഭാഗ്യമായി കരുതുന്നു. കാരണം, അച്ഛനെക്കുറിച്ചുളള ഒരു പാട്ട് നമ്മെ തേടിയെത്തുകയും വരികളിലെ പ്രത്യേകത കൊണ്ടത്. ഇത്ര കാലം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടും നിലനിൽക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു എന്നതാണ്. ആദ്യമൊക്കെ ഈ സിനിമ വിജയിക്കാതിരുന്നതിൽ സങ്കടം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.
2019 ഭാര്യയും മൂന്നു വർഷം മുൻപ് അച്ഛനും എന്നെ വിട്ടുപോയി. അവർക്ക് ഏറെ പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട പാട്ടാണിത്. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ എനിക്ക് ഈ പാട്ടിനോട് ഒരു പ്രത്യേക ഇഷ്ടമുണ്ട്.
വിദ്യാസാഗറിനൊപ്പമുള്ള എന്റെ കൂട്ടുകെട്ട് ഇരുപത്തഞ്ചു വർഷത്തിനുമേലെയായി. ഞാൻ ആദ്യം പാടുന്നത് "ഇന്ദ്രപ്രസ്ഥം' എന്ന സിനിമയ്ക്കു വേണ്ടിയാണ്. 1996ൽ ആണത്. ഈ സമ യം വിദ്യാസാഗർ മലയാളത്തിൽ വന്നിട്ടേയുള്ളൂ.
പിന്നീട് അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ സംഗീതത്തിൽ തന്നെ ഒരുപാടു സിനിമകളിൽ പാടാൻ എനിക്ക് അവസരം ലഭിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. അതിൽ തന്നെ ഒരുപാട് ഹിറ്റുകൾ തന്നെയുണ്ട്. മുന്തിരിച്ചേലുള്ള പെണ്ണേ...മാരിവില്ലിൻ ഗോപുരങ്ങൾ.., മഴവില്ലിൻ കൊട്ടാരത്തിൽ, വെണ്ണക്കല്ലിൽ നിന്നെക്കൊത്തി. തുടങ്ങിയവ അതിൽ ചിലതാണ്...

അച്ഛനെയാണെനിക്കിഷ്ടം...
