Leo filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj released the first song, titled Naa Ready, on Vijay’s 49th birthday. The music video mostly features the lyrics of the song giving fans a glimpse of the storyline. The video also shows Vijay dancing with his friends in a large arena. Throughout the song, he has a cigarette in the corner of his mouth.
