WOW! Here's what Thalapathy Vijay had to say about 'Arabic Kuthu' to Sivakarthikeyan.

 

As a Valentine's Day treat for fans, Thalapathy Vijay's 'Beast' song 'Arabic Kuthu' was released. It went viral almost immediately, with 140,196,029 views as of this writing. Anirudh wrote the song, which he sang alongside Jonita Gandhi, with the lyrics written by Sivakarthikeyan.

The hilarious video of Anirudh, Sivakarthikeyan, and director Nelson advertising 'Arabic Kuthu' is a major hit in and of itself. While viewers saw Vijay in the video discussing on the phone with Nelson and Anirudh about the song, there is no indication of how he reacted to the lyrics.

The topic was posed to Sivakarthikeyan, who was present at an awards presentation, and he responded that the song was shot a long time ago and that no reaction had been received. He even speculated that Vijay might not have been impressed with what he had written. However, after witnessing the marketing video, the top hero called him and congratulated him, as well as praising him for his Arabic writing.

Siva then told the cheering crowd that he informed Vijay that Anirudh put in half of the lyrics and he just filled in the gaps. Vijay has also informed Anirudh that he liked 'Arabic Kuthu' very much and predicted that it would become a huge hit.

In May of this year, Sivakarthikeyan's next film, 'Don,' with Priyanka Arul Mohan, will be released. 'SK20,' a Telugu/Tamil bilingual directed by Anudeep of 'Jathi Rathnalu' fame, is now in production.
