A video of an Instagram influencer named

Kiran Jopale

dancing to the popular song ‘

Tauba Tauba

‘ from

Vicky Kaushal

‘s film

Bad Newz

has gone viral, with many viewers mistakenly believing it features legendary Sri Lankan cricketer

Muttiah Muralitharan

.

The striking resemblance between Jopale and Muralitharan has led to widespread confusion and amusement on social media.

Jopale, a dance influencer, uploaded the video on his Instagram account on July 22, 2024, showcasing his impressive dance skills and acing Vicky Kaushal’s hook steps from the song. The video quickly gained traction, with netizens praising Jopale’s talent and noting his uncanny resemblance to Muralitharan.
Social media erupted with excitement, one user exclaimed, “For a second I thought it was him!” while another remarked, “Never knew that Muralitharan is such a fine dancer!”

However, it has been confirmed that the man in the video is not Muttiah Muralitharan but rather a lookalike choreographer named Kiran Jopale. Muralitharan’s social media accounts do not feature any such video, and a reverse image search led to the original video on Jopale’s Instagram profile.

Vicky Kaushal is making waves with his captivating dance moves in the song “Tauba Tauba” from his latest film, Bad Newz. The hook step has become a viral sensation, inspiring numerous celebrities and influencers to replicate his smooth choreography. Social media is flooded with videos of fans attempting to mimic Vicky’s dance, showcasing their interpretations of the catchy steps.
At a recent event, Vicky’s brother,

Sunny Kaushal

, was also asked to dance to the track. He humorously replied, “Mujhe nahi ata Tauba Tauba, main pehle hi bata raha hun. Mujhe nahi ata; maine nahi seekha” (I don’t know how to do Tauba Tauba, I am telling you upfront. I don’t know it; I haven’t learned it). Despite his initial reluctance, Sunny joined in the fun, showcasing the infectious spirit of the dance challenge.
Vicky Kaushal’s latest film, Bad Newz, has been making headlines for its strong box office performance since its release.
