Shruti Haasan's Edgy Transformation in 'Monster Machine' Video

While many expected Shruti Haasan to fade out, she surprised everyone with two big hits, "Veera Simha Reddy" and "Waltair Veeraya," and by bagging a role in the pan-India film "Salaar." She's also been active on Instagram, and her latest video is gaining attention.

On Wednesday, Shruti Haasan shared a sneak peek of her upcoming music video titled "Monster Machine." In this video, she's stepping away from her usual soft and girl-next-door image to embrace a bold, loud, fierce, and powerful persona.

The teaser starts with Shruti in traditional attire, but she quickly reveals her wild side in a dark and edgy visual presentation. She's seen surrounded by darkness, wielding a sledgehammer, and delivers a strong message: "Your baby is a monster."

"Monster Machine" aims to emphasize that women are more than what meets the eye. The woman in this song isn't just a pretty face; she represents strength and freedom, challenging societal norms. The sledgehammer in the video symbolizes breaking free from patriarchy and gender stereotypes.

Even though the song is in English, Shruti pays tribute to her Tamil roots by starting the teaser with the question, "Enna eppo puriyidha? (Do you understand now?)."

Shruti has announced that the full video will be released at midnight on October 26. After the video's release, she will also engage in a live session with her fans on her Instagram page.
