It seems like the
Baahubali craze is no mood to die. As the second installment goes on floors, Kilikki, the unique language coined by Madhan Karky for
Baahubali, has inspired Smita to perform a music video in the language titled
Baha Kilikki.
On Twitter, Smita, who is famous for songs like
Evaraina Chusuntara, said that the song is a 'tribute' to the film:
Interestingly, Smita happens to be a distant relative of filmmaker S S Rajamouli.
Madhan Karky reportedly penned the lyrics for the song, which stars Smita along with Prabhakar (the actor who played the Kalakeya's king in the movie), in three days. (Also Read:

Smita, in an interview to a leading newspaper, had said she was so fascinated by the language that she had to make a song on it, despite the lack of revenue from music videos owing to piracy and online download.
