Vijay on AR Murugadoss' Sarkar: Having AR Rahman on board as composer was like winning an Oscar


The audio launch of Thalapathy Vijay's Sarkar was held in a grand manner in the outskirts of Chennai yesterday at a jam-packed indoor auditorium located in a popular college. Numerous fans thronged the venue to catch a glimpse of Vijay.

"'Aalaporaan Tamizhan' song is an identity of Tamils, but 'Oru Viral Puratchi' is the identity of an entire generation. Having Rahman sir on board for our film was like receiving an Oscar. He was very sweet to me. He actually asked me to sing a track in the album but I stayed away from the offer since I didn't want to ruin the song," said Vijay.

Sarkar marks Vijay's third collaboration with AR Murugadoss. The duo have had blockbusters such as Thuppakki and Kaththi in the past. "Whenever I team up with AR Murugadoss, he delivers a special movie. Everyone has been asking what's unique in Sarkar. To cut a long story short, I would say there was some politics in Mersal, whereas, in Sarkar, Murugadoss has weaved absolute magic with politics. The last one year of travel with him has been an enjoyable ride," said Vijay.

Heaping praise on co-stars Keerthy Suresh and Radha Ravi, Vijay said, "It's quite a challenging task to showcase a talented artist like Savitri Amma to this generation and Keerthy Suresh has done it with great perfection. She has made the best use of the opportunity given to her. I started my journey with Radha Ravi sir in my debut film Naalaya Theerpu. It's been a great learning experience working with him."

In all his audio launch speeches, Vijay usually narrates a small story and gives a significant life lesson to followers. And, he didn't disappoint this time too. "Irrespective of how hard you work towards success, there will always be a bunch of people who will try to pull you down. It's natural, I agree, but do remember to play this game called 'life' very carefully. If you maintain silence when someone instigates you and if you don't lose your cool when someone scoffs at you, your life will be really good. Try to follow this in your lives," he said.

Talking about the film on a lighter note, he said, "Usually, in electoral politics people form a party, organise campaigns, contest elections and then form sarkar. But, here, we have already created the sarkar and are contesting the election. If you like us, please do not forget to vote."
