An abstract song for Vishal

Director Thiru is kicked about the song Poikaal Kuthirai.... that has been picturised on Vishal in his Samar.

Talking about the number, Thiru says, "The lyrics have been penned by Na Muthukumar and choreographed by Shobi master. Yuvan Shankar Raja has sung this number, which we shot in Bangkok."
He continues, "The song is abstract in nature, and is about the different situations that one comes across in life. We shot for over five days in almost 18 locations in Bangkok. Even though most of the song is in montage, we've put in a lot of effort to shoot it. We have defied the grammar of song picturisation and the result is mind-blowing. Yuvan has done a fabulous job with the song and no one can recognise his voice. This song will definitely be one of the highlights of the film."
