“Aalaporan Tamizhan” is undoubtedly one of the most loved hit songs that touched millions and millions of hearts from Thalapathy Vijay’s Mersal. Directed by Atlee, the film featured Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Akkineni, Nithya Menen, SJ Suryah and others in prominent roles.
Now, the lyricist of this hit track, Vivek is currently gearing up for the release of Thalapathy Vijay’s Bigil that is all set to hit the big screens on October 25. The lyricist was in a surprise when the popular Hollywood actor, Bill Duke started follow him in Twitter. Here’s what exactly happened!
A fan of the lyricist had recently posted an excellent artwork of him using Bigil and other lyrics penned by Vivek. He was taken aback when he found Bill Duke, the Hollywood director, producer and actor and popular for his roles in Commando, Predator and X Men, commenting on the work.
To which, a shocked Vivek wrote, “O M G! Is this The BILL DUKE? I cannot even start to tell how huge a fan i am of #Predator n #Commando. And now @RealBillDuke is following me on Twitter Sir.. I really hope you didn’t follow me by mistake! Lots of love"
Bill Duke made it a point to clarify Vivek’s doubt and wrote, “No mistakes here Sir....My team & I @we2incubators, appreciate #India #ArtfromIndia ... and your work...#ArtEducationMatters”. Check out the tweets that followed -
