Soorayaatam: Vikram dances fiercely in this lyric video from Mahaan which has Santhosh Narayanan in full form

The first look of Karthik Subbaraj's Mahaan was unveiled a month ago, along with a motion poster, leaving fans of Vikram into a tizzy. The team had then released Dhruv Vikram's poster reel which was an icing on the cake for the star's fans. 

The makers have now dropped the first single from the film, titled Soorayaatam. A lyric video, it is the extension of the motion poster which the team released a month ago. It also has some BTS moments from the location where Karthik, music director Santhosh Narayanan and his big team are seen having a gala time.

Set against the backdrop of a festival in a village, the video features several dancers, believers who offer prayers to deity, artists and craftsman, all soaked in the festive spirit. The traditional music which consists of various instruments like nagaswaram, tavil, talam, parai, and so on, can be considered as one of the best works of Santhosh. The choreography by Sherif, in tune with the music, is to watch out for. Vikram, dressed in a casual black shirt and jeans, slowly enters the frame and starts shaking a leg in an eccentric manner along with others. The makers hint that the sequence featuring Vikram, seen with a loose hairstyle and sporting a stylish goggles, comes after a crucial point in the story. 

Shreyaas Krishna's cinematography is yet another attraction of the video, which has Santhosh, too, shaking a leg with his team of musicians. Penned by Muthamil, the song has been sung by VM Mahalingam. Produced by SS Lalit Kumar under the banner of Seven Screen Studio, Mahaan which was earlier tentatively titled Chiyaan60, has Simran, Simha, Sananth and Vani Bhojan, too, essaying pivotal roles in it. Dinesh Subbarayan has choreographed action scenes for the movie which has editing by Vivek Harshan.
