Akshaye Khanna’s ‘Fa9la’ Entry Drives Viral Surge as Vinod Khanna Clip Resurfaces

Fresh archival clips alongside on‑set accounts keep the Gulf rap–Bollywood crossover in focus.

Overview

  • Use of the Bahraini Khaleeji hip‑hop track ‘Fa9la’ by Flipperachi, with Daffy and produced by DJ Outlaw, has become a breakout cultural moment after Dhurandhar’s release.
  • YouTube views for ‘Fa9la’ climbed from roughly 7 million on opening day to over 8.2 million within days, with reels and shorts accelerating the spike, according to Republic World.
  • Choreographer Vijay Ganguly and cast members say Akshaye Khanna’s now‑viral dance was spontaneous on set, with filming done in challenging high‑altitude conditions.
  • An old 1989 video of Vinod Khanna dancing has circulated online, prompting father‑son comparisons to Akshaye’s moves without confirming any direct inspiration.
  • Commentators link the trend to earlier cross‑border hits like ‘Jamal Kudu’, while explainers note Arabic’s sound patterns as a reason many Indian listeners find the lyrics harder to catch.
