EXCLUSIVE: Lyricist Vishnu Edavan reveals the idea behind using the words 'Naa Ready' for the first line in the Leo first single

'Thalapathy' Vijay's birthday celebrations continue to be the talk of the town after the actor treated fans to the first look from his upcoming film, Leo, while also releasing the 'Naa Ready' first single track. Sung by Vijay along with composer Anirudh Ravichander with rap by Asal Kolaar and with lyrics written by Vishnu Edavan, the song has climbed to the top of the charts in no time crossing 20 million views on YouTube alone in the first 24 hours, while also getting a phenomenal response on all the leading streaming platforms. With everyone now grooving to the Leo track, Vishnu Edavan sat down for an exclusive interview with Galatta to talk about the idea behind using the words 'Naa Ready' for the first line of the song. 

Speaking about how he arrived at the decision to use the words 'Naa Ready' in the Leo first single, Vishnu said, "Initially, I tried another option, but I felt this was better than the other one. The first line of any song is important. It all comes down to what Leo says. And, that is when I thought about going with the words 'Naa Ready' and I felt good about it. I was informed that Vijay sir was going to sing and that there would be 2,000 dancers in the song. So, when he's going to dance in front of those 2,000 people, what will be the first words he will say? 'Naa Ready'! Shall we dance? That's how I arrived at the idea to use those  words."
