Although he refused to explain more about Verithanam, the composer seemed very happy with the success of the film’s first single, Singappeney, a song that celebrates women. When asked who the Singappeney was, the musician said, “My mother, of course, and my wife, daughter and sister. Everything is my support system, emotionally and spiritually. It’s amazing with them, and inspired by them.” Singappeney will also be performed at his upcoming concert in Chennai on August 10.

Besides Bigil, Rahman also has a bunch of Tamil film projects with prominent stars such as Kamal Haasan and Vikram. Asked if he would take the Ajith-Boney Kapoor project as it was being rumored, the composer explained, “No, I can’t because I’ve done too much.”
