Composer Shaan Rahman took to Twitter to express his happiness. "Lost for words. Junior Bachan tweeted about Jimikki!!" he wrote.
If you are a regular Facebook user from Kerala or Tamil Nadu (or if you have not been living under a rock), chances are that you would have come across Jimikki Kammal, a catchy song-and-dance routine from the Malayalam movie Velipadinte Pusthakam. The song became even more popular after some college students in Kerala went on camera, dancing to the tune.
The crowning glory for the song (apart from flooding Facebook accounts in two southern states) came when popular US TV show host Jimmy Kimmel replied to a video of the song, saying he loved it.
