In a trend that has reshaped the Tamil film music landscape, composers are not just crafting hits — they’re also dancing in them. Hook step sequences in promotional clips have become the norm, and now Harris Jayaraj, the celebrated music composer, is the latest to jump on the bandwagon.
Harris , who is scoring for the upcoming film Kadhal Reset Repeat, recently appeared in a dance promo for the film’s song “Yamma Ghajini.” The track, composed, arranged, and programmed by Harris Jayaraj, features vocals by Asal Kolaar, Suchith Suresh, Senthil Dass, and Tamizh Adhavan, with lyrics penned by Madhan Karky and Arcus Aryian.
The movie is directed by Vijay and the video song is choreographed by Sandy, who doesn’t just work behind the scenes — he also steps into the frame alongside Harris, as well as debut actors Madhumakesh and Jiya Shankar, making for a lively and energetic performance.
This marks a new high in the ongoing shift of Tamil film promotions. Composers like Anirudh Ravichander, Santhosh Narayanan, and others have already embraced on-screen presence in their musical numbers — and now Harris Jayaraj is making his own mark.
