News Mania Desk/ Agnibeena Ghosh/17th June 2024

Actor Vijay Deverakonda is elated to see the official Instagram page of the Olympics using a mashup of a song from his hit movie “Geetha Govindam.” The actor expressed his happiness on Instagram, sharing a video that features the song, “InkemInkem,” combined with Drake’s “Hotline Bling.”

The official Olympics account posted a video showcasing the Eiffel Tower adorned with the Olympic rings. They captioned it, “Who likes the Eiffel Tower’s new look? Paris is getting ready for next month’s Olympic Games.” The background music of the video includes the mashup of “InkemInkem” from “Geetha Govindam,” a popular Telugu film song, which thrilled both the actor and his fans. Vijay shared the video on his Instagram story, captioning it, “Some songs are forever #GeethaGovindam X Olympics.”

Fans of the song and the actor were equally excited about its feature on the Olympics’ official page. One enthusiastic fan commented, “We got the Olympics using a Telugu song before GTA 6.” Another fan remarked, “Olympics using Geetha Govindam song? Wah!!” Highlighting the song’s origins, a fan wrote, “Before Malayalis come claim this song, I would like to tell them this is a Telugu mashup song.” Another fan humorously added, “Haha Olympics targeting the biggest audience in the world.”

“Geetha Govindam” is a 2018 film directed by Parasuram Petla, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. The movie and its soundtrack were massive hits, cementing Vijay’s popularity. Unfortunately, Vijay and Parasuram’s subsequent collaboration, “The Family Star,” did not replicate the success of “Geetha Govindam.”

In addition to this recent acknowledgment, Vijay and Rashmika recently celebrated another milestone: their 2019 film “Dear Comrade” garnered 400 million views on YouTube. The success of “Dear Comrade” further demonstrates the enduring popularity of both actors.

Looking ahead, Vijay Deverakonda is set to appear in a new film directed by GowtamTinnanuri. Rashmika Mandanna, on the other hand, has a busy schedule with several upcoming projects, including “Pushpa 2,” “Sikandar,” “Kubera,” “Rainbow,” “The Girlfriend,” and “Chhava.”

The inclusion of “InkemInkem” in an Olympics post not only showcases the global appeal of Indian cinema but also highlights the cultural impact of regional songs on international platforms. This moment is a testament to the power of music and cinema to transcend boundaries and connect with audiences worldwide. Vijay Deverakonda’s joy and the fans’ excitement underscore the pride and recognition of Telugu cinema on a global stage.

The combination of a Telugu song with an iconic global event like the Olympics marks a significant moment for Indian entertainment. It reflects the growing influence and appreciation of Indian culture and creativity in the international arena. For Vijay Deverakonda and the team behind “Geetha Govindam,” this recognition is a proud achievement and a reminder of the film’s lasting legacy.

In conclusion, the feature of “InkemInkem” on the Olympics’ Instagram page is a celebratory moment for Vijay Deverakonda and his fans. It highlights the global reach of Indian cinema and music, bringing joy and pride to the Telugu film industry. As Vijay and Rashmika continue to make strides in their careers, their past successes, like “Geetha Govindam,” continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, proving that some songs and films indeed stand the test of time.
