Produced by Chamath Sangeeth in July 2020, the Sinhala song which originally features Sri Lankan female singer-rapper Yohani and Satheeshan has become a new sensation in India all due to its cheerful melody and Sinhala rap.
The song has been breaking records in streaming platforms and social media leading the makers to release its Tamil and Malayalam versions last month.
The song was also recently released in English and Hindi after earning massive online plaudits.
Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan also could not help but share his love for the song.
The Big B took to Twitter to share a video of his dance sequence from his blockbuster ‘Kaalia’ where the original song ‘Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai’ was replaced with ‘Manike Mage Hithe’. A mesmerized Bachchan clarified that the editing was done by none other than his granddaughter Navya.
