Mamitha’s impromptu song at ‘Jana Nayagan’ event

Mamitha Baiju, best known for her roles in ‘Premalu’ and ‘Dude’, has roped in to play a crucial role in Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan’. During the pre-release event of the film, Mamitha Baiju recalled a childhood memory involving the song ‘Ella Pugazhum.’ To explain the incident better, she sang two lines of the song on stage spontaneously. And what we see next is a meme fest. While many netizens lauded the young actor’s candidness, it didn’t sit well with a few others. The song from the 2007 Vijay starrer ‘Azhagiya Tamizh Magan’ is, of course, popular, and music lovers didn’t like how the actress sang it. Even her recent pictures on Instagram are flooded with comments pointing to her impromptu song.“Am I the only one whose Insta feed is filled with Mamitha Baiju’s troll from the #ThalapathyThiruvizha #JanaNayaganAudioLaunch Event? It’s all over everywhere, oh god,” wrote one X (formerly Twitter) user. One netizen pointed out Vijay’s reaction to her song. “While everyone was trolling Mamitha Baiju, I noticed something at the Mamitha Baiju–Vijay function. Vijay seems to have developed a poker face, which is very important for a politician. He no longer reacts to small things.”

The brief moment has certainly gone viral on the internet, but unfortunately for the wrong reasons. “What all should I listen to in this world?” one netizen commented. Another said, “Gonna make this my alarm ringtone.” Some opined that she could have avoided singing, “After a wonderful introduction to her, she could have avoided this.”
