Hey, a hit-making hero, a hero!
I am my own competition!
To reach all eight directions,
I will give interviews!
Just like Rajini sir,
my style will make heads turn!
In acting, I am a storm!
I will go all the way to Hollywood,
and step right in!
With pride and swagger,
I will bag six or seven Oscars!
Look at my face
on a video call!
Just ask Facebook,
I am the one with real mass appeal!
All across the town,
my cutouts will stand tall!
All the newspapers
will print my stories and sell!
All the mothers and women
will keep me in their hearts!
The sound of whistles
will reach the highest skies!
From now on... from now on...
From now on... from now on... from now on!
Hey, a hit-making hero, a hero!
I am my own competition!
To reach all eight directions,
I will give interviews!
Just like Rajini sir,
my style will make heads turn!
In acting, I am a storm!
I will go all the way to Hollywood,
and step right in!
With pride and swagger,
I will bag six or seven Oscars!
All across the town,
my cutouts will stand tall!
All the newspapers
will print my stories and sell!
All the mothers and women
will keep me in their hearts!
The sound of whistles... mmm!
...
When I appear on the big screen,
the crowd will roar like leopards!
When actresses crowd around me,
rumors will spread every day!
Oh... oh!
As I rake in massive box office collections,
my bank balance will soar high!
Loving me as their very life,
my fans are my true family!
Offering ready cash in advance,
for my shooting dates,
many film companies will send proposals!
Every single day... every day...
Every single day... every day!
In the hearts of all the youth,
I will surely win a place in the end!
As a worldwide superstar actor,
I need massive fame and a glorious name!
All across the town,
my cutouts will stand tall!
All the newspapers
will print my stories and sell!
All the mothers and women
will keep me in their hearts!
The sound of whistles... mmm!
Hey hey hey hey!
Hey, a hit-making hero, a hero!
I am my own competition!
To reach all eight directions,
I will give interviews!
Hey, a hit-making hero, a hero!
I am my own competition!
To reach all eight directions,

Hey hey hey hey!
