The music of Bigil is composed by AR Rahman.
The music album of much-awaited film Bigil was unveiled on Thursday.
Billed as a sports drama, Bigil is expected to show Vijay in a different avatar. The first look posters that were released earlier suggested that the actor may be playing a double role of a father and son. The movie also stars Jackie Shroff, Kathir, Vivek, Varsha Bolamma, Indhuja, Kathir, Yogi Babu and Soundara Raja among others.
Bigil is expected to hit the screens this Diwali.

"Online trolls shouldn't cross the limits of fun. It hurts when it crosses that limit. One should have the decency to respect opponents too. I respect those who handle social media hatred well. Those who are doing this should focus their energies, hashtags and trends on social issues," says Vijay.

"Yogi Babu recently missed his new house warming ceremony. He shouldn't miss his marriage atleast," says Vijay.

"We are nothing without women. They are much more powerful than us. Women are the root cause for all my films and stories," says Bigil director Atlee.
He adds, "#Bigil will be my best-written film."
"Vijay anna is my lucky charm. He asks me to work with other stars too but I can't think beyond him for my films. Vijay will always be my favourite hero. I share a special connection and emotion with him, like how each director has one special hero. I don't feel like going away from my annan. I am nothing, all my heights are due to him only," says Bigil director Atlee.
"Vijay has shot 170 days for Bigil. Shooting football matches in 40 degree heat was very difficult. Vijay sir used to pack up at 2am and still come to the spot at 7 am in the morningg to save our production costs. He is an inspiration. I saw all his hard work first hand. Like Baahubali was a game changer for historical films, Bigil will be a game changer for sports films," says Archana Kalpathi.
AR Rahman says that he and Vijay only exchanged smiles during their recording sessions. He adds that Bigil is all about fun, drama and motivation.
