Based on the song's lyrics and concept, the explosive music video is a re-imagination of the ancient Sanskrit text 'The Bhagavad Gita', one of the most important philosophical classics of the world. It is a dream come true to make this video, which is a great visual representation of Rudra's music. The video interweaves brutal band performances with storyline battle scenes, created with visual effects compositing and computer animation. Check out the event on Facebook.

RUDRA PARTS WAYS WITH SELVAM
It is with great pain that we are releasing this news that the band has decided to part ways with Selvam. We wish Selvam our best in his future endeavours. We are thankful to him for the good moments and for producing 4 memorable albums with us. We are currently negotiating with a few guitarists who could possibly join us. It is a very stressful period for us right now as we are headlining the Tomahawk festival in about 3 weeks. Anyways, we will not anyone down.- Kathir
