Chikitu Vibe from Coolie

Fans who have been waiting for something special to drop on Rajinikanth’s birthday on December 12 had a little surprise from Lokesh in store. The director took to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday afternoon, teasing that he would drop something come evening. At 6 pm, he wished Rajinikanth a happy birthday, writing, “Happy happy birthday thalaivaaa @rajinikanth (red heart emojis) Our gift to you from Team #Coolie (fire emojis).”

The less than 1-minute-long video shows Rajinikanth with a spring in his step, showing off his moves to a song titled Chikitu Vibe. Composed by Anirudh Ravichander, the song has lyrics penned by Arivu. The duo, apart from T Rajendar, also sang the peppy number, which sees Rajinikanth dancing at what looked like a celebratory occasion in a chawl decorated with palm leaves and marigold flowers.

Internet reacts

Fans can’t get enough of the peppy number already, with one fan commenting, “So happy being a #Thalaivar #Rajinikantj fan that he tries his best to entertain his fans even in his 74+.” Another wrote, “Maja Vibe ba, TR voice (heart eye emoji) Thalaivar Mass.” One fan called it a ‘wonderful gift’ while another called it ‘unexpected’. Some even thanked Anirudh and Lokesh for the song. “Thalaiva ur looking so young'u,” summed up one fan on YouTube.

About Coolie
