Rekha Did The Jamal Kudu Trend Before Bobby Deol In Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal? Watch Viral Video

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Animal stirred up quite the buzz among movie buffs in 2023. While some folks had mixed feelings about it, the film still worked its charm at the box office and got everyone talking. Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol’s performances got a lot of love, especially Bobby’s flashy entry song, Jamal Kudu. But hold onto your seats! Recently, a blast from the past surfaced on social media featuring Rekha grooving to Bobby’s moves from Jamal Kudu in her 1988 movie Biwi Hai To Aisi. The internet went wild, showering the legendary actress with praise in the comments section.

A fan shared a video of Rekha dancing in a song from the 1988 movie Biwi Ho Toh Aisi. In the video, she puts a glass on her head and does the popular Jamal Kudu step. The fan captioned it as “Rekha doing the 1988 Jamal Kudu Dance Step.” Another fan commented, “She did it all before it was cool.” It’s unclear if the video was edited.

The movie Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, was a huge hit. Bobby Deol also made a big impact with his role as Abrar Haque, despite having limited screen time. Fans loved Abrar’s entry song, which became a sensation online. Composer Harshavardhan Rameshwar mixed traditional Iranian music with modern elements for the track, featuring a children’s choir and female vocalists. Jamal Kudu originally comes from Iran and talks about love and longing.

In an interview with Bollywood Spy, Bobby had earlier said, “It is crazy, people are keeping a glass on their dog’s head and dancing. Somebody had worn an exact same suit like mine. It’s just overwhelming to see all of that. He (Sandeep Reddy Vanga) had made me listen to the music beforehand. He has got a great sense of music. He has got a great sense of everything about filmmaking. He found the song from somewhere and told me ‘I will play this in your introduction.’ When we started shooting, the choreographer said, ‘You do it.’ I was like, ‘what will I do?’ I started dancing and he told me, “No, No. Don’t do it like Bobby Deol.’ Then Saurabh, who plays my brother, I told him, ‘Can you do and show? How would you do it?’”

Animal was a hit at the box office.
