'Vaathi Coming' is an iconic, fast-paced high-energy street dance anthem from the Vijay-starrer 'Master' (2020), composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Written and co-sung by Gana Balachandar, the track utilizes North Chennai's distinct 'Gana' genre and Madras Bashai slang mixed with rhythmic scatting words to celebrate the protagonist's arrival.
