  The entanglement entropy of many quantum systems is difficult to compute in
general. They are obtained as a limiting case of the R\'enyi entropy of index
$m$, which captures the higher moments of the reduced density matrix. In this
work, we study pure bipartite states associated with $S^3$ complements of a
two-component link which is a connected sum of a knot $\mathcal{K}$ and the
Hopf link. For this class of links, the Chern-Simons theory provides the
necessary setting to visualise the $m$-moment of the reduced density matrix as
a three-manifold invariant $Z(M_{\mathcal{K}_m})$, which is the partition
function of $M_{\mathcal{K}_m}$. Here $M_{\mathcal{K}_m}$ is a closed
3-manifold associated with the knot $\mathcal K_m$, where $\mathcal K_m$ is a
connected sum of $m$-copies of $\mathcal{K}$ (i.e.,
$\mathcal{K}\#\mathcal{K}\ldots\#\mathcal{K}$) which mimics the well-known
replica method. We analyse the partition functions $Z(M_{\mathcal{K}_m})$ for
SU(2) and SO(3) gauge groups, in the limit of the large Chern-Simons coupling
$k$. For SU(2) group, we show that $Z(M_{\mathcal{K}_m})$ can grow at most
polynomially in $k$. On the contrary, we conjecture that $Z(M_{\mathcal{K}_m})$
for SO(3) group shows an exponential growth in $k$, where the leading term of
$\ln Z(M_{\mathcal{K}_m})$ is the hyperbolic volume of the knot complement
$S^3\backslash \mathcal{K}_m$. We further propose that the R\'enyi entropies
associated with SO(3) group converge to a finite value in the large $k$ limit.
We present some examples to validate our conjecture and proposal.
