Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh will be making his acting debut in Tamil along with ‘Bigg Boss’ fame Losliya Mariyanesan in the film Friendship. The makers have now released a song titled ‘Superstar Anthem’ from the film. The song, which was released on July 4, is currently trending on YouTube.

Performed by actor Simbu, ‘Superstar Anthem’ is a tribute to Rajinikanth by a die-hard fan with lines that praise his style. The song begins with Rajini’s popular cynical laughter from Enthiran, and also has some of his famous dialogues interspersed in between. The song has been composed by D UdhayaKumar with lyrics by Gowtham R.

Friendship is reportedly centred around sports and college life. The movie also stars actors Arjun Sarja and Sathish and has been directed by John Paul Raj and Sham Surya. The film has been produced by JPR and Stalin under the banner Seantoa Studios and Cinemaass Studio.
