The audience at a National Basketball Association (NBA) game in Orlando in Florida was in for a surprise as the Baahubali craze took over when a group of schoolchildren danced to a popular number from the superhit Indian movie on the basketball court.
Needless to say, it became an instant hit on the internet as likes, comments and shares took over when the video was posted on Facebook and Twitter by NBA.
The video, posted on Facebook on Nov. 21, has been seen by an enormous number of people —735,000 — and has been shared 790 times.
Schoolgirls decked up in bright yellow lehengas can be seen showing off their moves in the video, and they are later joined by boys who put up an equally enthusiastic performance. The well-choreographed number won many hearts.
NBA India, that has tweeted the video, says: “Orlando gets treated to some crazy desi vibes.”
