Nora Fatehi's latest music video, Body Roll, has been creating a buzz online due to its similarities with the Netflix animated show Love Death and Robots, specifically the episode titled Jibaro in Volume 3.
Director Inflict (Prakarsh Tiwari) has spoken exclusively to HT City, stating that he is inspired by various forms of cinema, art, and music videos from around the world.
He agrees that there are fantasy and surrealist influences in Body Roll, but claims that the project has its own emotional language and a different storyline altogether.
Inflict also defends the concept of an 'apsara' in Indian mythology, which he believes is not a fair comparison to Jibaro.
Regarding the similar costumes, Inflict explains that there was logic behind Nora Fatehi's outfit in the music video, citing the need for metal-based costumes to represent the sacred place of the lake.
He emphasizes that inspiration is a natural part of filmmaking, and what matters is how one reinterprets emotions and creates something unique in their own voice.
