The peppy song is sung by Thalapathy himself and is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The song is catchy and showcases Vijay’s prowess as a dancer.
Initially, fans showered immense love on the song and especially on Vijay. Vijay can be seen matching steps with a huge dance crew behind him with a cigarette in his mouth. The song also includes BTS moments from the sets while filming the filming of the song.
