As this season of the Indian Premier League is halfway through and Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore is cruising, the star batsman in a fun chat revealed that his favourite song currently is 'Nee Singam Dhaan' from Silambarasan TR's Pathu Thala.

The song is popular even among sporting circles, as fans used it extensively in reels and edits to showcase their idol's records and achievements. 'Nee Singam Dhaan' lyrics naturally lend to such elevation.

Noticing the video on RCB's official handle, STR tagged Virat Kohli and commented 'Nee Singam Dhaan', meaning 'You are indeed a lion'.

On the work front, Silambarasan will next be seen in a pivotal role in Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam's Thug Life, slated for a release on June 5. His call sheet is packed, as the actor will headline his 49th film, directed by Parking fame Ramkumar Balakrishnan; the 50th with Desingh Periyasamy; and the 51st with Ashwath Marimuthu.
