The first single from Ajith's Viswasam was released yesterday. Viveka who wrote the lyrics spoke to Behindwoods about his working experience and the reception that the song has been getting:
"I feel so happy, to see all the positive reactions. The song has just been released but the video has already got the attention of lakhs and lakhs of people. When so many people like our song and celebrate it like theirs, it feels overwhelming. I would like to thank director Siva and music director D Imman for giving me this opportunity.
When you write lyrics for a big star's film, it gets noticed so much, so we need to be very careful with the choice of words that we use. We have worked according to their expectation and to see the fans celebrate the song's lyrics, it feels so happy."
About Mankatha reference in the song?
"When I told that word, director Siva said, 'இது வந்து அப்டி பத்திக்கும்.' It has an inner meaning at the same time, Ajith sir's movie reference will also be there."
