Janhvi Kapoor was delighted to witness the rendition of her song. "What a crossover to wake up to," she wrote on her Instagram Stories with a heart emoji.
While Jr NTR also joined in the excitement by sharing the video on his Instagram Stories and wrote, "Music has no boundaries and you proved it again Ed! Hearing you sing ’Chuttamalle’ in Telugu is truly special @teddysphotos @anirudhofficial @shilparao."
