Yet another Disco song from the Rajni – Illayaraja combo, even though the song is set on a Disco floor but it is a folk song out and out. Interestingly, this song starts as a disco, but immediately after the prelude, and briefly, after the 2nd pallavi, the music jumps back to Disco mode and jumps back into folk mode. Most importantly we get to listen to wonderful SPB with his multi-voice adds a lot more fun. One of the songs which is popular even to this day.

Paayum Puli was inspired by the 1978 martial arts film The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Director S.P. Muthuraman and Panchu Arunachalam hired Judo K.K. Rathnam as the action choreographer and keeping him in mind they designed this film and also wanted to cash in on the popularity of legendary Bruce Lee.
