"Spirit of Chennai" is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language single composed by C Girinandh and directed by Vikram.
[1][2] Following the 2015 South Indian floods which affected Chennai in early December 2015, actor Vikram planned a flood relief anthem to pay homage to the volunteers during the crisis and to celebrate the spirit of the city.
The song was composed within two hours, and Vikram called up several prominent singers to record their voices as a part of the track.
The lyrics for the song were written by Madhan Karky, Gana Bala and Rokesh.
Vikram subsequently began directing a video song for the anthem featuring several actors from the Indian film industry.
