The last time Anirudh Ravichander broke the internet with a viral song was in 2011, with Kolaveri Di. Ever since, the young, talented music composer has become indispensable to the Tamil industry, if not the whole Southern film industry. More than a decade ago, AR Rahman’s Arabic Kadalandam, from Bombay, became a sensational hit. It is now Arabic Kuthu’s turn to set the stage on fire. With many film celebrities shaking their legs for the reels of Arabic Kuthu, social media is in awe of their performances.
The creative, humourous promo for the first single, Arabic Kuthu from the movie, Beast, took YouTube by storm. We see Director Nelson, Anirudh Ravichander, and lyricist Sivakarthikeyen in their peak form of comedy.
Thalapathy Vijay and Pooja Hegde are seen in catchy, sizzling moves choreographed by the Butta Bomma fame, Jani Master. It is also interesting that actor Sivakarthikeyan penned down the lyrics of this electrifying song. No wonder the lyrics are so catchy. Director Nelson tweeted, ‘Arabic Kuthu’ here it is … Thank you Sivakartikeyan for the cool and jolly lyrics. Rock star Anirudh-superb stuff. Super cool Pooja Hegde. Dashing Thalapathy Vijay sir”, while releasing the lyrical video. Within just seven minutes of being released on YouTube, the video garnered a whopping 4,51,000 views, with 1,76,000 people giving it the thumbs up.
