The makers of Devara: Part 1 dropped its romantic ballad Chuttamalle much before the film hit the silver screen. Starring Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, the song captures the chemistry between the stars, and the hook step is a hit among social media users, with many sharing their versions of it. Chuttamalle has been sung by Shilpa Rao and composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
A Swedish couple, Karl Svanberg and Home Svanberg, recently recreated the song, winning plaudits and a reaction from Rao. Dressed in casual outfits, the couple efficiently matched the hook step of the song at a beach, impressing viewers with their spot-on lip-sync to the Telugu track.
“Love this song but I wish I could dance as good as @jrntr anna,” Karl captioned the video.
