Did you know a song from Thala Ajith's 'Veeram' was also used in 'Anbe Sivam'?

Thala Ajith's Veeram is an action drama released in 2014. Helmed by Siva, the film also features Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead role opposite Ajith. As mentioned in IMDb's Veeram movie trivia, one of the songs used in the film was already used in Kamal Haasan's 2003 comedy-drama film, Anbe Sivam. Read ahead for more details. 

In Veeram, a song plays before the meeting between Vinayagam and Kopperundhevi. This song was sung by street singers. The same song was already used in Anbe Sivam, when the lead character Nallasivam, acts in street theatre shows which are protesting against multinational corporation-driven industrialisation.
