Below is her tweet:
Thunivu is packing in a lot of exciting factors already and this latest exciting revelation from Manju Warrier will no doubt raise expectations considering the first single from the film titled 'Chilla Chilla' sung by 'Rockstar' Anirudh Ravichander to the lyrics penned by Vaisagh of the hit indie track 'Kaaka Kadhai' fame has created a lot of buzz among fans and will be released in the days ahead. With 'Chilla Chilla' already revealed to be a dance number, all sights and ears will next be set on the song Manju Warrier has sung in the film. Thunivu is touted to be a high-octane heist action thriller and it will be interesting to see how the film's director H. Vinoth will have placed the songs in the narrative.
Thunivu is gearing up to be one of the biggest Ajith films in recent times and will be released in Tamil Nadu by Udhayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies banner. Produced by Boney Kapoor's Bayview Projects LLP in association with Zee Studios, the film is the third consecutive time the two top banners are collaborating with Ajith Kumar and H. Vinoth after Nerkonda Paarvai (2019) and Valimai, which was released earlier this year. The makers are also going full out to make Thunivu the biggest release in Ajith’s career after blockbuster production-distribution banner Lyca Productions was announced some time back to have bagged the overseas theatrical rights.
