Oye Kunaal feels that a lot of deserving actors are not getting a chance in music videos!

Oye Kunaal, known for his songs like “Waqt”, “Shukar Kar”, “Hanjua Di Tha”, and “Patola”, recently released his new song “Ek Dafa Toh Mil” featuring actors Arjit Taneja and Anjum Fakih. The popular singer feels that a lot of deserving actors are not getting a chance in music videos since people have started to cast TikTok users.

“These days a lot of Tiktok users are featured in music videos rather than TV actors and I feel because of that a lot of deserving and well-experienced actors are not getting work. Is it because of the number of followers on social media accounts? If not then the deserving actors should definitely get a chance,” he said.

Music videos were quite prominent in the late 90s, and the trend has picked up again, talking about it Kunaal said, “Music videos are popular again and it is very important for them to be in trend because not everyone gets a chance to become a playback singer. I think with music videos everyone gets a chance to prove himself as a singer or a performer.”

Kunaal revealed that his favourite song includes “Ek Dafa Toh Mil” and “Waqt”, he further said, “As a singer, I always prefer melody as melody never dies. It is evergreen so I like romantic and semi-sad songs.”

He, however, confessed that it’s not easy to shoot a music video. He said, “In a music video we have to show the whole story in three to four minutes, so it’s always a challenge to do so.”

Kunaal also shared that people choose music videos over short films, and said, “There’s a lot of difference in music as well as the level of the making of music videos, so now people are keener on investing in a music video rather than a short film.”
