The makers of the upcoming Tamil film Vadakkupatti Ramasamy, starring Santhanam in the lead role, unveiled the first single, Abarakko Dabarakko, on Sunday. Composed by Sean Roldan with lyrics penned by Bakkiyam Sankar, the song has been sung by Santhanam, along with Sean Roldan.
Vadakkupatti Ramasamy is helmed by Karthik Yogi, who previously directed Santhanam's Dikkiloona. Backed by People Media Factory, which has previously backed Goodachari and Witness, Vadakkupatti Ramasamy is billed as a period comedy-drama.
Here's the song
In an earlier conversation with CE, the director said, "The film deals with a real-life incident that happened in a village in the 1960s-70s. Also, Ramaswamy is an iconic Tamil name that continues to create waves, and we have explored layers and meanings behind that name."
Apart from Santhanam, the makers have roped in Jai Bhim-fame Tamizh, Megha Akash, John Vijay, MS Bhaskar, Rajendran, Seshu, Ravi Mariya, and Nizhalgal Ravi, among others.
Vadakkupatti Ramasamy has cinematography and editing by Deepak and Shiva Nandeeswaran, respectively. The film is all set to hit theatres on February 2.
