Bobby Deol, or most fondly known as ‘Lord Bobby’ to most of his fans, has been grabbing all the attention for a long time now. Shedding off his chocolate-boy, romanticised image on-screen, the actor left everyone startled with his robust physique and cannibalistic role as ‘Abrar’ in the recently released film, Animal. While his swift action moves and blood-soaked stills from the movie have raised goosebumps in many of his fans, Bobby has also been winning hearts for his out-of-the-box entry scene in the film, as he danced with a glass on his head to the tunes of the Iranian folk song, Jamal Kudu. While the song has gone berserk on the internet in no time, the actor opened up on the backstory for choosing such steps for his dance.
In an interaction with Bollywood Spy, Bobby Deol talked about his viral entry sequence in the film, Animal wherein he could be seen doing a drunk dance with a glass on his head to the tunes of the Iranian wedding folk song, Jamal Kudu. The actor firstly credited the filmmaker, Sandeep Reddy Vanga for having a great taste of music and added that after listening to the song, he was rendered clueless as to how he should perform on it. He said:
“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?”

There is no denying the fact that Bobby did quite a tremendous job with his performance in his entry song. Elaborating on how he devised the step, that has been going viral all over the internet, the actor revealed that he wanted to do something unique and not copy someone else’s style. However, he mentioned how he remembered an anecdote from his stay in Punjab, where he would often get drunk and keep a glass on his head. In his words:
“Then I suddenly remembered the time when I was small and we used to go to Punjab. I remembered how we used to get drunk and keep glasses on our head. I never understood why we did it. It suddenly came in my mind and I did that. Sandeep liked it.”
In the concluding segment of the interview, Bobby Deol revealed having witnessed how massively his song went viral on the internet and added how so many people have begun to copy his moves in videos. Expressing amusement in seeing people put glasses on the heads of their dogs, the actor revealed:
“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.”

While Bobby Deol’s entry scene has been massively lauded right from his entry sequence in the film, it is also the tunes of the song, Jamal Kudu that have grabbed a lot of attention. For the unversed, the song is not new and it is actually an Iranian folk wedding song. It was originally composed by Iran’s Khaterah Group and is an adaptation of a poem written by Iranian poet, Bijan Smander. The catchphrase of the song, “Jamal Jamalek Jamaloo Jamal Kudu” loosely translates into:
“Oh my love, my beloved, my sweet love!”
