The horrid controversies which followed the Beep song made Silambarasan to utilise his reach and influence amongst the youth in a more positive way and has stroked a hit, Vottu song, for a social cause. The lyrics of the song address our common feeling that discourages us from voting.

The music, directed and sung by Simbu, is a catchy number that will be honoured by all classes of the society. The second stanza of the song narrates the importance of why everyone should vote, in a simple way.

This honest attempt by Simbu which will pull his fans and the general public towards the polling booth, is greatly appreciated. When great music is mixed for good cause, magic happens. Hats off to Simbhu for his sincere attempt!
