MUMBAI: The Malyalam music video Second Rain, which is made on a massive budget of nearly two million rupees released today under Muzik247. Lijo Augustin and Arundhati Nair stars in this music video that narrates a tale of romance in which rain acts as the predominant backdrop to important moments in the love story of a young couple. Apart from the breathtaking visuals shot in the picturesque locations of Munnar, the video also features a short climactic fight sequence.

"No single artist has defined, innovated or shaped the medium of music videos more than Michael Jackson. He was my greatest inspiration when producing this work, which is much more than a music video”, says Lijo Augustin who has produced and directed the music video. He adds, "With Second Rain, I wanted to re-introduce the genre of Music Movies and explore the potency of a well thought out video where the script and sequences extend beyond the song."

The music video features a song titled Peyyum Mazhaye composed by Varun Unni to the lyrics of R. Venugopal. Shweta Mohan and Ranjith Govind have lent their voices to the track.

"The song has been written in such a way that it’s the male voice that carries forward the narration while the female voice joins him in reliving those nostalgic memories. This is why we specifically chose Ranjith for his mid range tone and Shweta for her light and melodious voice,"Varun Unni explains. "Through the lyrics and vocals, the rain acts as a metaphor for the memories the young couple share, so apart from the guitar, keyboard and vocals; the sound of rain itself features on many occasions as an instrument in this track."

The cinematography of Second Rain is handled by A Kumaran and Prijith S.B, whereas the editing is done by Jithin D.K. The music is programmed by Ashwin Sivadas, with Sandeep Mohan on the guitar. Lijo Augustin has produced the music video under the banner of Lilly Magic Media. Muzik247 is the official music partner.
