We stumbled upon an old video featuring Rekha flawlessly executing the hook steps of ‘Jamal Kudu,’ a song from Bobby Deol’s film ‘Animal,’ even before it became a popular trend.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s 2023 release, ‘Animal,’ has left a mark on cinema enthusiasts’ hearts. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film performed well at the box office, drawing significant attention. While Ranbir Kapoor’s performance was lauded, Bobby Deol’s portrayal also garnered praise, particularly for his entry song, ‘Jamal Kudu,’ which captivated audiences. Recently, an online video surfaced showcasing a veteran actress, effortlessly mirroring some steps reminiscent of Bobby’s in ‘Jamal Kudu,’ causing a stir on the internet.
Prior to Bobby Deol, Rekha had already perfected the hook steps of ‘Jamal Kudu.’

Bobby Deol’s Inspiration Behind the Dance Moves in ‘Jamal Kudu’
Last year, ‘Jamal Kudu’ became a trend, with many attempting to recreate its iconic hook steps. Bobby Deol revealed in an interview with Bollywood Spy that Sandeep Reddy Vanga had allowed him to preview the song beforehand, informing him that it would play during his introduction. When accompanied by the choreographer, Bobby was encouraged to dance freely and with his unique style. Recalling his childhood memories, Bobby mentioned how he and his friends used to dance, often with a glass on their heads after getting drunk. This served as the genuine inspiration behind his hook steps in ‘Jamal Kudu.’
The song ‘Jamal Kudu’ was immensely popular and left a lasting impact on audiences. Originating from an Iranian folk song composed by Iran’s Hazareh Group, it’s an adaptation of a poem by Iranian poet Bijan Smander. In ‘Animal,’ the song was presented as a choir, featuring voices from various artists. The meaning behind the Iranian folk song translates to, “Oh my darling, don’t play with my heart, you are leaving and I am going crazy.”
