The multi-talented hitmaker Mika, who thinks of Sumit Sethi as a younger brother, elaborates on the two versions Majnu, “When I made the first version of Majnu, I wanted to make people enjoy the romantic side of my voice.

I am so grateful that Mithun Da danced to my song on the show ‘Hunarbaaz’ and now I have decided that I am going to use the same hook step that Dada did to all the Instagram reels of this song. I am sure people are going to dance to this song as much as they danced to my other songs.”
