Award-winning artist and composer Shabir has unveiled his latest single, 'Achamillai', a stirring tribute to the legendary Tamil poet Mahakavi Bharathiyar.
The musician revealed that Bharathiyar’s poetry has profoundly influenced his life, guiding him through some of his darkest moments. “Bharathiyar, Tagore, and Rumi are my holy trinity,” Shabir shares. “Their works shaped my artistic journey and gave me strength when I needed it most. This song is my way of giving back.” Thus, the song is a deeply personal ode to the poet whose fearless words continue to inspire courage and resilience across generations.
Written in 2016 during a challenging period in Shabir’s life and completed in 2024, 'Achamillai' is a bold rap anthem with a message of defiance and perseverance: “Have no fear, trust the process, and keep moving forward.”
Originally penned as a source of personal motivation, Shabir hopes that the song can now become a beacon of hope for anyone navigating difficulties. The empowering lyrics, combined with Shabir’s signature blend of Tamil literary influences and modern urban beats, create a universal anthem of strength and fearlessness.
The song comes accompanied by a music video directed by emerging filmmaker Sunder Nagayah. The MV is a visual tribute to the human spirot, exploring the concept of fear and inner battles. It challenges viewers to confront their own struggles and reveals a thought-provoking truth about the true enemy we face.
