The makers of The Greatest of All Time- GOAT dropped the song Spark from the film on social media on Saturday. However, audiences have not been so impressed with the song, with many trolling the song and the makers, especially given The GOAT marks the last leg of Vijay’s acting career. What adds to this, is how Spark is picturised with Vijay’s de-aging avatar, which has drawn the ire of many on social media.

Vijay’s de-aging on The GOAT draws ire

Vijay is awaiting the release of The GOAT, the upcoming Tamil film directed by Venkat Prabhu. The makers had recently released the Spark song from the film, which is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. While the song itself did not spark any positive reception among the fans, it featured a de-aged Vijay, who was made to look young as he shook a leg with actor Meenakshi Chaudhary.

While the makers had used cutting-edge technology and spent a chunk to make Vijay appear younger, the visuals do not seem to have impressed his fans. Many on social media have been commenting on how the song does not seem to justify the actor. Here are some of the reactions on social media.
