Rooted and relatable, Vivek Velmurugan's lyrics work their way through both commercial chartbusters – ‘Aalaporaan Thamizhan’, ‘Namma Satham’, ‘Ranjithame’ – and heartening melodies – 'Unakku Thaan', ‘Soul of Varisu’. Having penned 'Marana Mass', 'Verithanam', 'Thee Thalapathy' and others, Vivek has slowly risen to become the chosen one to weave the opening mass numbers. Not to forget, "Nee Singamdhan (You're a lion)" is celebrated by the Chennai Super Kings fanbase as an anthem for M.S. Dhoni, with his lines echoing not only in theatres, but also in cricket stadiums.
