The promotions for Madharaasi have begun with the introduction of first single. In a very typical Nelson Dilipkumar style, a fun promo was released featuring Madharaasi director AR Murugadoss, actor Sivakarthikeyan and composer Anirudh Ravichander. To top it off, the first single titled Salambala, will be crooned by none other than upcoming musician Sai Abhyankkar.
While Sivakarthikeyan and Anirudh Ravichander share a great camaraderie and have collaborated several times, their recent one is for Madharaasi. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the trio came together to launch the first single promo Salambala.
It is usually the style of Nelson Dilipkumar to release a fun promo for single launch, usually in the case of films like Doctor and Beast, which were composed by Anirudh. Incidentally, Sivakarthikeyan was also involved in the videos. Now, for Madharaasi, the trio got together to shoot a quirky and hilarious promo.
The first single will be launched on July 31 evening. The song will be scored by Sai Abhyankkar, an upcoming musician who has already bagged six films. This song marks the first time Sai and Anirudh will be collaborating and is touted to be a love failure song.
