Inimel music video: Shruti Haasan and Lokesh Kanagaraj addressing the media in Chennai on 25 March

Finally, the much-awaited Inimel music video, featuring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Shruti Haasan, is out.

The 4-minute-42-second video song is an emotional journey of a couple in a relationship.

Lokesh Kanagaraj and Shruti Haasan appear as the couple in love.

Inimel music video starts in a movie theatre in Chennai, where the couple watches a video featuring themselves as the characters.

It’s just a way to introduce the viewers to the life of these two central characters.

About today’s relationships

The music video shows the lives of the two characters — how they live happily in their initial stages and get into ugly fights after a while.

The concept of Inimel is nothing exceptional, but it reflects today’s couples and how quickly they decide on their relationships.

Lokesh Kanagaraj enjoys a good screen presence and plays his character well. His intimate scenes with Shruthi Haasan have become the talk of the town after the teaser was launched.

Their arguments look real and not dramatic. Their onscreen chemistry is appealing.

The tune composed by Shruti Hassan is not a conventional love one. It captures the happiness in a love relationship and the pain when it worsens at a stage.

The lyrics written by Kamal Haasan are apt and his voice can be heard at the end of the music video.

Director Dwarkesh Prabakar has done a decent job, too.

Couldn’t deny Raaj Kamal’s offer: Lokesh

Meanwhile, at a press conference held as part of the Inimel music video launch in Chennai on Monday, 25 March, Lokesh Kanagaraj said Raaj Kamal Films International was his home.

“I could not deny when they approached me. I accepted their project for three reasons — First, it was just a three-day shoot. Second is Kamal Sir and third is Shruti Hassan and her team,” he revealed.

Lokesh also stated that he was always open to learning. “As far as my music knowledge is concerned, you have been watching my movies, I use retro songs more. While shooting Inimel, Shruti contributed 40-50 songs more to my playlist.”

The filmmaker said he would continue directing films. “Shooting for Inimel was brief. It didn’t hinder my direction projects. I am working on Thalaivar171. The shooting will begin in June,” Lokesh clarified.

Shruti Haasan thanked Raaj Kamal Films International for backing Inimel. “Independent music needs to grow at least by 20 percent every year, given that film music is a monster in India.”

The actor felt that she should have done a music video before but work commitments made it wait this long.

Inimel marks the acting debut of Lokesh Kanagaraj. However, fans and netizens are in awe of his acting skills in the music video.
