Indian Idol 16 Fame Amritha Rajan Gets Big Break With A.R. Rahman’s Ramayana Song

Indian Idol 16 fame Amritha Rajan has achieved a major milestone with Ramayana. The young singer has lent her voice to the Malayalam version of “Jai Jai Rama,” composed by Oscar-winning music maestro A.R. Rahman. Released on September 25, 2026, the track marks a significant step in Amritha’s musical journey after her memorable appearance on Indian Idol 16.

Amritha Rajan, who won attention with her performances on Indian Idol 16, has reached another important milestone in her singing career. The young vocalist is now associated with the much-awaited film Ramayana, with her voice featuring in the Malayalam version of the song “Jai Jai Rama.”

The song has been composed by A.R. Rahman, while the Malayalam version features Amritha Rajan and singer Haricharan. The track was released on September 25, 2026, and is officially credited to A.R. Rahman, Haricharan, Amritha Rajan and lyricist Vinayak Sasikumar.

Amritha Rajan’s Journey From Indian Idol To Ramayana

Amritha became familiar to television audiences through Indian Idol 16, where her performances earned appreciation from the show's judges and viewers.

During her stint on the singing reality show, she also performed A.R. Rahman's “Hai Rama,” impressing the judges with her vocals. Sony Entertainment Television's official Indian Idol material featured her performance as part of a special selection celebrating Rahman's music.

Her latest association with Rahman therefore adds another meaningful chapter to a journey that began with a national television singing platform.

A.R. Rahman’s Music Gives Amritha A Big Opportunity

Working on a project composed by A.R. Rahman is a significant opportunity for any emerging singer.

 

Rahman has created the music for Ramayana, whose first released song, “Jai Jai Ram,” was unveiled earlier in September. The Hindi version featured Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, with lyrics by Dr. Kumar Vishwas.

The Malayalam version expands the musical reach of the film and brings Amritha into the project alongside established playback singer Haricharan.

Jai Jai Rama Malayalam Version Released

The Malayalam track is titled “Jai Jai Rama (From ‘Ramayana’) - Malayalam.” According to the official music listing, the single was released on September 25, 2026, and has a duration of more than five minutes.

The credit list places Amritha alongside A.R. Rahman and Haricharan, while Vinayak Sasikumar is credited for the Malayalam lyrics.

The track is also listed among the recent releases associated with A.R. Rahman's music catalogue.

Ramayana’s Musical Journey Began With Jai Jai Ram

Before the Malayalam release, Ramayana began its musical campaign with the Hindi song “Jai Jai Ram.”

Composed by A.R. Rahman and written by Kumar Vishwas, the song was sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. Released on Ganesh Chaturthi, the track introduced audiences to the devotional and emotional musical world of the film.

The song features important moments from Lord Ram's story, including Ram and Sita's wedding, their arrival in Ayodhya and the emotional reunion between Ram and Bharat.

Ranbir Kapoor And Sai Pallavi Lead Ramayana

The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, while Yash plays Ravana and Sunny Deol portrays Lord Hanuman.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is being mounted as a large-scale cinematic adaptation of the epic. The first song has already offered audiences glimpses of the film's visual and emotional approach.

The release of different language versions of the song also reflects the film's multilingual musical presentation.

Amritha’s Indian Idol Experience Comes Full Circle

For Amritha Rajan, the Ramayana opportunity comes after a memorable journey on Indian Idol 16.

Her earlier performance of “Hai Rama” connected her with the music of A.R. Rahman on the reality show. Months later, she has become part of a major film soundtrack associated with the same composer.

That connection makes her latest achievement particularly noteworthy for fans who followed her journey on television.

A New Chapter In Amritha Rajan’s Singing Career

Amritha's association with Ramayana represents an important transition from reality-show recognition to playback singing in a major cinematic project.

While Indian Idol gave her a platform to showcase her talent to television audiences, the Ramayana song places her voice within a highly anticipated film featuring some of Indian cinema's biggest names.

With A.R. Rahman's music and the film's multilingual releases attracting attention, Amritha now has an opportunity to reach a much wider audience.

Ramayana Continues To Build Musical Buzz

With “Jai Jai Ram” already released in Hindi and versions in other Indian languages arriving, Ramayana is steadily expanding its musical presence.

The Hindi track established the devotional tone of the film, while the Malayalam version featuring Amritha Rajan and Haricharan adds another regional dimension to the soundtrack.
