Venkat Prabhu is making headlines with his upcoming film GOAT, starring Vijay, which is set to hit theaters on September 5. With Yuvan Shankar Raja composing the music, the film marks a significant reunion between the composer and Vijay after two decades.

However, the recently released trailer has significantly boosted interest, showcasing Yuvan’s talent through a compelling background score.

In a recent press interaction, Venkat Prabhu addressed the criticisms directed at the film’s music. He acknowledged that while many have appreciated the songs from GOAT, there are some differing opinions. Prabhu explained that the team’s primary goal was to entertain the audience and that they had taken feedback seriously. Consequently, they made adjustments, including refining Vijay’s de-aged look after the release of the third single, “Spark.” The latest look of Vijay in the trailer has been well-received and is considered close to the final version.

Addressing a specific point of contention, Prabhu clarified the reference to Ajith’s film Mankatha in the GOAT trailer. He explained that the dialogue in question was scripted by him and delivered by both Vijay and Ajith, emphasizing his creative role in integrating such elements into the film.
