Social media abuzz with reports about Verithanam, a single from Bigil, being leaked online

The first single of Bigil, Singapenney, was leaked on social media days before the official release on July 24. According to social media trends, it is come to light that one other song from Bigil has met with a similar fate. #VerithanamLeaked is a top-trending topic in Chennai. Incidentally, Verithanam, is the first time Vijay is singing for AR Rahman.  

While some fans seem to be happy with the early treat, many took to Twitter to express their disappointment at the production house for the repeated error. 

Bigil is said to be a sports drama, with the Sarkar-actor playing dual roles of a son, who is a football player-turned-coach, and a gangster father. Starring Nayanthara as the female lead, the film also features Indhuja, Varsha Bollamma, Amritha, and Reba Monica John as footballers, whose team will be coached by Vijay's character. Apart from them, Jackie Shroff, Kathir, Vivekh, and Yogi Babu are also part of the film, playing supporting characters.

Vijay, who last lent his voice to the track Papa Papa from Bairavaa in 2017, has now sung a song for his upcoming film, Bigil. 

Though the actor-composer duo worked together on several films in the past, such as Udhaya, Azhagiya Tamizh Magan, Mersal, and Sarkar, Vijay had not lent his voice to a song composed by Rahman till now. 

Verithanam, the second single from the Atlee-directorial, has lyrics by Vivek, who has previously penned the chartbuster, Aalaporan Tamizhan from Mersal

Produced by AGS Entertainments, Bigil is slated for a Diwali release.
