The Kaavaalaa dance routine seems to have truly gone global. The viral challenge recently spawned the most unexpected collaboration on Instagram.

Mayo Japan, an India-based Japanese creator who frequently meshes the two cultures with her content, made Hiroshi Suzuki, the Ambassador of Japan to India, ace Tamannaah’s iconic steps. The duo looked absolutely adorable, with Suzuki even donning his shades in Rajinikanth’s trademark style.

In just two days, the video has notched over 80,000 likes, and shows no signs of slowing down. We wonder, could this be the best form of international diplomacy?
