The release of "Chuttamalle," the second single from the highly anticipated film Devara, has sparked significant debate among music enthusiasts. Composed by Anirudh and featuring lyrics by Ramajogayya Sastry, the song showcases the on-screen chemistry between Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor, with the latter delivering a glamorous performance. However, the song has faced scrutiny due to its noticeable similarities to the popular Sri Lankan track "Manike Mage Hithe," composed by Chamath Sangeeth and performed by Yohani.

The resemblance has led to accusations on social media, with some users alleging that Anirudh's composition mirrors the tune of "Manike Mage Hithe." This controversy has prompted a broader discussion about originality in music composition. Despite the criticism, "Chuttamalle" has already achieved considerable success, accumulating millions of views online, with its romantic visuals and melodious tune continuing to captivate audiences.

In response to the claims, Chamath Sangeeth, the creator of "Manike Mage Hithe," expressed admiration for Anirudh, noting that he was pleased to see his song inspire another artist. This response has added a positive note to the ongoing debate, while the attention surrounding "Chuttamalle" suggests that it is poised to make a significant impact in the music world.
