Bigil just keeps getting more newsworthy. The latest tidbit is that Vijay has sung a song for the film, which has music composed by Oscar-winner AR Rahman. The song will have lyrics by Vivek.
Archana Kalpathi, creative producer of the film, announced: “A big thank you to our #Thalapathy from all of us (His fans) for granting our request to sing in this album Trust me the song is #Verithanam Thank you @arrahman Sir, @Atlee_dir @Lyricist_Vivek for making this happen @SonyMusicSouth #Bigil”
This is the first time Vijay will be singing for Rahman, though he has sung previously for composers like Harris Jayaraj (‘Google Google’ number in Thuppaki ) and GV Prakash (‘Chellakutti’ in Theri ). He was supposed to sing for the AR Rahman in Sarkar , but eventually did not.
Bigil marks the third collaboration between Vijay and director Atlee, after their successful outings in Theri and Mersal . Bigil , whose first look created a sensation online, means ‘whistle’ in colloquial Tamil.
