Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his work in films like “Leo” and “Vikram,” is stepping into the world of acting, marking his debut alongside actress Shruti Haasan in the upcoming music video “Inimel.” While Kanagaraj recently collaborated with Haasan on the music video project “Inimel,” it appears that this collaboration might not be limited to just a feature-length film at this stage.
A week ago, Shruti Haasan teased the release of the music video on Instagram with a graphic featuring two gaming controllers, indicating the imminent arrival of the song titled “Inimel” with the caption, “#Inimel all your Delulus Become Trulus.” Further fueling anticipation, she shared a video revealing the roles each collaborator took on, with herself as the composer, Kamal as the lyricist, and Lokesh surprising many by assuming the role of an actor, accompanied by the hashtag, “#Inimel Role Reverse is the New Verse.” Additionally, she shared a poster depicting her and Lokesh adorned in traditional attire, immersed in a gaming session, with the caption, “No Winners No Losers, #Inimel only Players.”
As the excitement continued to build, Shruti dropped a teaser for the song on Thursday night, announcing that the full video for “Inimel” would premiere on March 25. She urged her followers to mark the date with the caption, “#Inimel the game begins from 25th March. Mark the Moment!” The teaser provided a glimpse into the storyline, featuring Shruti and Lokesh portraying lovers, captivating audiences with their on-screen chemistry. Notably, Shruti’s vocals were also showcased, adding to the anticipation surrounding the release.
The teaser sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, many expressing surprise at Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting skills. Shruti Haasan, last seen in “Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire,” shared updates on her upcoming projects during an Instagram Live session, revealing, “I am currently working on two films simultaneously. Neither of them are releasing yet.” Drawing a comparison between “Inimel” and her other project “Monster Machine,” she emphasized the stark differences in production, visuals, and musical elements between the two ventures.
With Lokesh Kanagaraj making his acting debut alongside Shruti Haasan in “Inimel,” anticipation is high for the release of the music video on March 25, promising a fresh and captivating cinematic experience for audiences.
