First it was Singappenney, now it is Verithanam... or is it?
Social media was abuzz on Friday with audio clips claiming to be a new song from Bigil, but ultimately it was a false alarm.
The leaked clip seems to have Vijay’s voice on the vocals — the first time ‘Thalapathy’ has sung for ARR, though the composer has worked with the actor in earlier films like Mersal, Sarkar and so on. The clip was shared widely on social media, as well as Whatsapp on Friday evening.
Fans eagerly waiting for the song update from AGS Cinemas, were left disappointed at the rumours, and posted a series of updates urging producer Archana Kalpathi to address the issue and make no sure no further fake recordings come out before their official release.
Earlier, a week after Singappenney was leaked online, the makers released the track officially on July 23. In an exclusive chat with The Hindu earlier, AR Rahman had said, “He (Vijay) has sung it well. His voice made a lot of difference to the song.”
Bigil is Vijay and director Atlee’s third collaboration, after the successful Theri and Mersal, and is set for a Deepavali release. It stars the likes of Vijay, Nayantara, Jackie Shroff, Kathir, among others.
