		+	Mughal-e-Azam was dubbed into Tamil and released as '''Akbar.''' The film was a flop, but its songs, redone in Tamil by Kambadasan, resonated with an entire generation, notably ‘Kaadhal kondaalé bayamenna’ (Pyar kiya to).
		+
		+	When the colourised Mughal-e-Azam (Hindi-Urdu) was released in 200? its credit titles were redone and now contained an iiritating
		+
		+	kaadhal kondaalE bayamenna by P. Suseela & Chorus,
		+	( tamil equivalent of Lata Mangeshkar's 'pyaar kiya tO darnaa kya )
		+	from the movie 'Akbar 1960 being the dubbed version of
		+
		+
		+	Kaadhalithale Achamenna (ஸ்வர்ணலதா பாடிய இனிய Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya Tamil) by Swarnalatha Teri mehfil
		+
		+
		+	Kambadasan's version in Suseela's voice (1960s recording) was much better!
		+
		+	When Mughal-e-azam was being made simultaneously in Tamil as Akbar, Susheela was called upon to sing for the Tamil version. “There was a lyricist by the name Kambadasan, who would translate the Hindi songs into Tamil. He took me to Bombay and introduced me to the music legend Naushad. Till then, I didn't know who he was. Naushad was very impressed with my rendition of his songs and many decades later, when he was asked to compose for the Malayalam movie Dhwani, he agreed to take up the project on the condition that I sing his songs.“ [http://visionsofcinema.blogspot.in/2016/04/sound-of-music-in-conversation-with-p.html
		+
		+	This song is sung by Kollywood's greatest singer Swarnalatha .The legendary Hindi film Mughal-e-Azam which was released in 1960 with Naushad's score was reconstructed in colour and released in 2006. It was also released in Tamil as Anaarkali. Swarnalatha was the female voice for the songs in the film. Swarnalatha created a stir by singing in two different voices the song 'Kana Neram Unadharuge' which was the Tamil version of the Hindi song 'Mehfil Mein Kismat'. In the original song Lata Mangeshkar and Shamshad Begum had sung the song to which Madhubhala and Nigar Sultana had danced. But in Tamil, Swarnalatha sang for both the dancers in two voices that brilliantly matched them. Naushad who came to Chennai for the Audio release for this film blessed Swarnalatha praising her amazing feat. http://hdvidzpro.com/video/file/Tamil-Version-Of-Mughal-E?id=uJK0sbomx9s
		+
		+
		+	If Kaadhalithale Achamenna by Swarnalatha kavignar vairamuthu is the Tamil version of (Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya Tamil) then what about kaadhal kondaalE bayamenna by P. Susheela???
		+	After several hours of needless research I have come to the conclusion that P. Susheela sang for the 1960 version and Swarnalatha for the 2006 version.
