Ranbir Kapoor’s recent movie, Animal, sparked debates due to its portrayal of toxic masculinity. Nevertheless, the film has maintained a strong presence at the box office. Certain scenes and tracks, notably the Persian song Jamal Kudu, have captured widespread attention online, contributing to the movie’s continued success in theaters. The catchy song accompanies Bobby Deol’s dynamic entry in the movie, where he dances with exuberance while balancing a glass of alcohol on his head.
Among the buzz surrounding the film, a particular woman has unexpectedly risen to fame. Tannaz Davoodi, an Iranian model and dancer, was among the choir singers performing in the chorus of Jamal Kudu. Born in Tehran, Iran, Tannaz, also known as Tanni, pursued a fashion design course at Landstede MBO-Mooi & Mode before establishing herself as a prominent model and dancer in India.
Tannaz initially started her journey in the entertainment industry as a background dancer. Over time, she collaborated with numerous actors, singers, directors, and producers, including Varun Dhawan, John Abraham, Sunny Leone, Karan Singh Grover, Sooraj Pancholi, Pulkit Samrat, Ileana D’Cruz, and Rajpal Yadav.
Using Instagram as her platform, Tannaz actively shares videos of her performances, dancing to Bollywood tunes. Her followers on Instagram have surpassed 260k since her appearance in Animal. Notably, she includes the hashtag #jamalijamaloo girl in her Instagram bio, making it easier for fans to find her post the movie’s release.
Expressing her gratitude on Instagram, Tannaz thanked Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of Animal, for the opportunity to collaborate with Bobby Deol, deeming it a great honor.
With the infectious popularity of the song Jamal Kudu and Tannaz Davoodi’s rising recognition, the film continues to generate attention despite the controversies surrounding its themes.
