Bombe Helutaite is a hit in Japan as well!

Bombe Helutaite

— the beautiful song by Vijay Prakash with lyrics by director Santhosh Ananddram from the Puneeth Rajkumar-starrer

Raajakumara

was one of the biggest hits of recent times. And the charm of the song seems to have crossed not just the state's border, but the national border as well.

Such is the popularity of the song that recently, at a fest in

Japan

, a Japanese teenager sung Bombe Helutaite. It is interesting to note that the last time that a Kannada song was this popular was probably Huttidare Kannada Nadalli, from Puneeth's father, Dr Rajkumar's 1993 hit Aakasmika.
