'Kannamma Eannamma' shoot was more of a reunion for its team

The latest music video that is creating a buzz in K-Town is

Kannamma Eannamma

, which features Rio Raj and Pavithra Lakshmi in the lead. The song, composed by aspiring music director Dev Prakash, has been sung by

Sam Vishal

and directed by Brito JB. We caught up with the team while they were shooting for the song, which was released earlier this week...

‘There was a jolly vibe on the set’The shoot was fun and the song is a colourful one, with cute moments. The director is a long-time friend of mine, as is Pavithra! Britto, Sam Vishal and Bala... We are all friends as well, so there was a jolly vibe on set. It was like a reunion with all of us working together while playing and chatting.

‘Shooting for the song was like being with family’I have known Rio for almost 10 years and this is the first time we have paired up on screen. Bala has featured in an independent music video for the first time. I am a big fan of Sam’s music. I found myself being lost in the song several times while we were shooting for it. Abu anna has choreographed the song and I’ve known him since Ungalil Yaar Adutha Prabhudeva days. I was really excited to have him as the choreographer. Shooting for the song was like being with family.

‘Rio introduced me to this team’ Rio and I started our acting career together with

Kana Kaanum Kaalangal

. I have also known director Britto since then and it was Rio who introduced me to him. We had a photo shoot to create the lyric video and had planned to shoot the video if it became a hit. And it did! Sam Vishal is an amazing singer. We were a team of youngsters, who did this song just like students doing their college project.

‘When people support independent musicians, it will enhance their self-belief’Kannamma Eannamma is a song close to my heart because I have sang for my brothers Rio anna and Karthik Srinivasan anna, who’s one of the producers. In addition to singing, I have also made a cameo appearance in the video. When people support independent musicians, it will enhance their self-belief. It will give hope for talented musicians, and make them realise that they have a platform for their talent to get recognised.

‘I sport a new hairstyle in this song’I have played a cameo of sorts in the song. We have done something new with my hairstyle for this number and I am excited to be part of it.
