Among its songs, ‘Yanthara Lokapu Sundarive’ stands out as the most expensive, with an investment of Rs 20 crore. This exceptional track was filmed in grand sets over a period of 10 days, featuring Rajinikanth and Amy Jackson. Sung by Sid Sriram and Shashaa Tirupati, with lyrics by Anantha Sriram and music composed by the iconic AR Rahman, the song was choreographed by Bosco Martis.
