Black Eyed Peas Celebrate Indian Cinema In Their New Music Video, B-town Celebs React

My teenage school years have been defined by dancing to the songs of The Black Eyed Peas (oh the nostalgia!) and also some never-ending Rajnikanth jokes and memes sent by my classmates. But never did I imagine seeing an amalgamation of these two in a new music video with an interesting Rajni twist!

NDTV reports that deep-fake technology has been employed to replace the faces of actors like Rajnikanth, Ajay Devgn, etc. with the faces of The Black Eyed Peas band members. The video begins with a ‘Star Wars’ style scrolling introduction which warns viewers saying, “Do not believe everything you see.” The video then moves on to familiar scenes of movies like ‘Singham’, ‘Robot’, ‘Enthiran’, etc. in a new fresh light.

You can see the full video here:-

The caption on their YouTube video’s description box also re-iterates the same. The band writes that they have been influenced by the music of various artists from Asha Bhosle to A.R. Rahman
