'90s Bollywood Hit Kala Chashma, Written By A 15-Year-Old Boy, Is Currently Becoming A Worldwide Craze. No

Everyone has been overcome by the "Kala Chashma" fever that has swept the Internet, whether it be pop sensation Demi Lovato, TV host Jimmy Fallon, cricketers from Hong Kong, Indian aunts or Team India, or children from Africa. Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, two Bollywood celebrities, recently danced to this well-known Punjabi song to celebrate Team India's victory against Pakistan at the present Asia Cup.

 
People all over the world are swaying to Badshah's upbeat Punjabi rap hit, which was reworked for the 2016 film Baar Baar Dekho starring Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif. Although Badshah's version of the song is the one now going popular on social media, the original Kala Chashma is based on the same-named Punjabi chart-topper from the 1990s. Amar Arshi sang the original version of the Kala Chashma song, which was written by Prem Hardeep and Kam Dhillon. But Amrik Singh Shera wrote the words to this song when he was only 15 years old.
 
Amrik approached numerous singers for this song when he was in the ninth standard and wrote it. At a gathering in England, singer Amar Arshi sang that song. That song was released by a firm, and it quickly became very popular. The song was later distributed in Punjab by a Chandigarh-based company, which is how it gained widespread popularity. Baar Baar Dekho's creators updated this song for their movie in 2016. Due to its high recall value, unique dance moves, and hottie Katrina Kaif, the remake also became a tremendous success.
 
As per a report, Amrik was paid Rs 11,000 for the song when he signed the agreement and wasn't even aware that his song would make it to a movie.
