On Monday evening director Lokesh Kanagaraj released the Rebel Anthem video a perfect recreation of Kamal Haasan's 'Potta Padiyudhu' song from the 1987 movie 'Sathya' directed by Arvind Sridhar of 'Simba' fame. The 'Master' director wrote "I take immense joy and pride in wishing @ikamalhaasan sir on 61years of kamalism. Im honoured to release the "REBEL ANTHEM” a location-based cover of the 1987 classic song "POTTA PADIYUDHU" from SATHYA created by “SIMBA” director Arvind Sridhar as a tribute. Kudos.

An obviously pleased Kamal Haasan has replied to his younger film industry colleagues "I am touched. This does not seem like simple nostalgia. This is unconditional love. The return gift from my side could & should only be of the same kind. Love you guys. My motivation, in a marathon you all have allowed me to run."

It is well known that after Thalapathy Vijay's 'Master' Lokesh Kanagaraj is all set to direct a new movie 'Thalaivar 169' produced by Kamal Haasan which stars Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead.

இது வெறும் மலரும் நினைவுகள் அல்ல, மாறா அன்பு. இதற்கு பதில்பரிசு என் மாறா அன்பு மட்டுமாகவே இருக்க முடியும். என் நீண்ட பயணத்தில் என்னை அயர்வின்றி நடத்தும் சக்தியும் அதுதான்.
