  • The surprising debate around Nora Fatehi’s new music video.
  • Why fans are saying ‘Body Roll’ looks a lot like Netflix’s ‘Jibaro’.
  • The director’s big reaction to all the noise.

You won’t believe what’s got social media buzzing this week! Nora Fatehi and Yo Yo Honey Singh just dropped their latest music video, ‘Body Roll’. It’s a spectacle. Visually stunning, no doubt.

But wait a minute. Many viewers quickly noticed something familiar. Very familiar. The whole vibe? Super fantasy-inspired. The costume design? Quite striking. And that scene where Nora emerges from the water? Iconic.

It all reminded people of one very specific, acclaimed episode: ‘Jibaro’ from Netflix’s ‘Love, Death & Robots’. Seriously. The comparisons are everywhere! Netizens jumped into action. They called out the similarities instantly.

Is it inspiration? Or is it something… more? Many are saying it’s “far from inspiration.” They feel it’s “too heavily inspired.” The debate is intense.

Finally, the director of ‘Body Roll’ has spoken. He broke his silence. He insists the music video has its own unique narrative. Its own emotional identity. It’s not just a carbon copy, he says. This is a story from us, for us.

Some fans are totally on board. They appreciate the ambitious production. The unique styling is a win for them. Others are still holding strong on the other side. “Unoriginal,” they cry. This online debate isn’t slowing down anytime soon. In fact, it just keeps going! Sometimes, creative processes can be tricky, even for legends!

Our Take

We’ve seen the clips. And honestly? The visual echoes of ‘Jibaro’ are hard to ignore. Especially that iconic lake emergence sequence. It’s a tricky line, isn’t it? Between paying homage and looking a little *too* similar. While ‘Body Roll’ definitely brings its own energy and Nora’s incredible presence, the overall aesthetic feels very familiar to anyone who’s binged ‘Jibaro’. Maybe a simple credit or a clear nod would have helped? It just keeps us thinking about what truly makes something original in our visually-driven world. We think artists always find new ways to tell stories, even when the visual style takes cues. Speaking of big names and big projects, we’re also curious about Pooja Hegde and Allu Arjun’s potential reunion!
