Anirudh talks about ‘Selfie Pulla’ composing session with Vijay

Before Kaththi release, the much anticipated song in the album was Selfie Pulla sung by Vijay. In his recent interview to The Hindu, Anirudh has spoken in detail about the composing session with Vijay for the song which went viral thanks to the newage lyrics by Madhan Karky.

“Vijay sir wanted to record at 9 a.m. I’m hardly up at that time. I had sent him a scratch version of ‘Selfie Pulla’. When he came to record, I realised he had already rehearsed it a few times. It was really nice to see such a busy person take the trouble. We finished recording the number in under an hour. The idea of a song for Vijay sir was there from the start. And when I travelled to Singapore for a concert, I noticed how crazy everyone was about selfies. I got the idea of ‘let’s take a selfie’ as the hook line for a song. I returned to Chennai and composed it. Of course, Vijay lent his character to it,” says Anirudh.
