International hiphop artist Akon who was in the town recently to record a Love anthem with STR, completes his recording with style. STR was over the moon as the duo have gone a little more south Indian this time with donning “Veshti” costumes for a Kuthu number. STR has tweeted recently that the “Smack that” star tried some Kuthu steps and just rocked it. Sporting a traditional avatar, Akon seemed to have loved the costume and the superstar also watched a few songs to get the steps right.

The music video, choreographed by Brinda, was directed by Vignesh Shiva, Nelson. The entire set was awed by the star’s humble nature. Being such a Larger than Life than character and yet such humility was something unexpected. He even obliged to hundreds of photographs for his fans and didn’t have any qualms at all. The Love anthem will have 96 languages penned into it and this will be a different version from the previous one. The visuals of this song are kept under the hood, but it will be full of peace signs with candles, and lot of Indianism as well.
