The latest recreation of the song’s choreography is winning hearts on the internet. The dance performance features a group of teenagers grooving to the song in costumes that closely resemble the original. There are countless dance covers of this song on the internet. But, what sets this version apart from others is its strong production value and the main performers, Dinesh and Monika, who not only flawlessly perform the dance moves but also mimic the style and grace of Vijay and Pooja Hegde.
The lyrics of “Arabic Kuthu” were written by Sivakarthikeyan. And the song was composed Anirudh Ravichander, who also crooned the song with Jonita Gandhi. The song featured in Beast, which was written and directed by Nelson.
