Vettaiyan: Rajinikanth's co-star Ritika Singh uses Coldplay song to describe working with the Superstar

PUBLISHED DATE | 13/Mar/2024

Vettaiyan is an upcoming Tamil language multi-starrer drama, with actor Rajinikanth playing the lead. The movie produced by Lyca Productions, comes with an ensemble of Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Rana Daggutbati, Dushara Vijayan and Ritika Singh among others. Sharing a picture with Rajinikanth from Vettaiyan's Hyderabad shooting on Wednesday, actress Ritika Singh made an Instagram post with the caption, 

 

"This song sums up exactly how it feels to be around the legendary Thalaivar 😭♥️
His grace, his aura, his presence is truly unmatched ✨✨
I’m having the time of my life working on set with him right now. Forever grateful for the opportunity :’) <33

The song used by Ritika Singh on her post was Coldplay's Viva La Vida from the British band's album Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008). It is likely that Ritika Singh meant the song's Spanish title to describe 'how it feels to be with Rajinikanth' rather than the song itself, as 'Viva La Vida' translates to "live life" and is used in the context of enjoying or having a good time in life. 

The Chris Martin sung Viva La Vida Coldplay song on the other hand is about the French revolution, and is an interpretation of King Louis XVI's final speech which was lost in the booing of the French revolutionaries, before his public execution during that era. Viva La Vida lyrics, written from Louis XVI's point of view, apologizes to his people as he marches towards the guillotine, post his fall.
