MUMBAI: South India's no. 1 YouTuber Madan Gowri has collaborated with well known rapper Arivu of Therukural fame for his first ever video song. The song is about how even though people in India are extremely tech savvy today they still continue to harbour the thoughts of class discrimination and divide.
The video which is India's first ever Animoji video, is shot completely on an iPhone and shows Madan and Arivu in their animated forms. The song in a fun manner highlights the message that while humans have managed to evolve so much since the big-bang, today we are "Monkeys with 5G and IG" but still continue to delve into castes and discrimination. The video has clocked in half a million views in just 2 days.
With this song, Madan and Arivu also hope to urge people to come forward and take a stand against any social discrimination happening around them.
