In case you missed it, Sri Lankan song 'Manike Mage Hithe' has become the latest viral sensation on the internet. With celebs like Amitabh Bachchan, Tiger Shroff, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Parineeti Chopra, Rupali Ganguly and many more joining the trend, it looks like the Sinhala song trend is here to stay.
Amitabh Bachchan shared a hilarious video in which he superimposed the Sinhala track over a dance scene from Kaalia. Granddaughter Navya Naveli helped him with the edits, but Big B maintained that the song was impossible to stop listening to.
How could our dance maestro Tiger Shroff be far behind. The actor showed off his moves on the hit track in a reel that has received over 2.5 million likes and counting!
Madhuri Dixit-Nene too was amused and she shared a video showing how much she loved this song.
Parineeti Chopra was seen humming along to Manike Mage Hithe and boy, is she melodious!
Sonu Nigam too became an instant fan of the viral song and he posted a video right from Goa.
Anupamaa actress Rupali Ganguly too shared her video and wrote, "Der se hi sahi, but had to do this trend !!! Such a ear worm tune. Shot by my rockstar @vijayganguly. Loved grooving to this with my nephew @abhishake_pai and friend @miral_meeero."
The original song was released about a year ago, but the current version of Manike Mage Hithe has struck the right chord and become one of the most popular tunes for Instagram Reels in India. The Sri Lankan singer-rappers Yohani and Satheeshan became overnight sensations in Sri Lanka as well as India.
Manike Mage Hithe is the current favourite of influencers, celebs and commoners alike. While some are using the song as background music in their videos, others are seen dancing to it. Some others are simply humming to the tune. Whatever it takes to get those social media impressions, no?
