Allu Arjun falls for fake video of dance group ‘performing' Pushpa song on AGT, leaving Sofia Vergara shocked
Team Pushpa and actor Allu Arjun fell for a fake video claiming that the Indian dance group B Unique Crew performed to a song from the film on Season 20 of America's Got Talent. Both the actor and the film's team reacted to the video, while in reality, the dance group performed to a completely different song. Allu Arjun reacted to a video claiming an Indian dance group's performance to Pushpa song on America's Got Talent left Sofia Vergara shocked. Allu Arjun falls for fake video The social media handle of Pushpa posted a clip of the dance group 'performing' to the Pushpa song at AGT, writing, 'Icon Star @alluarjun's #Pushpa is a global phenomena. The 'B Unique Crew' performed for the #Pushpa song on @AGT Season 20 stage and the response was sensational. The judges hailed it as 'THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON'.' Arjun also posted the video of the performance on his X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts, writing, 'Wow … Mind Blowing.' Interestingly, the video Arjun re-shared on his Instagram stories was posted by the official handle of B Unique Crew themselves, 'dancing' to the music of Daakko Daakko Meka from Pushpa: The Rise and the theme song, which probably caused the confusion. What did B Unique Crew really perform? However, the original video posted by America's Got Talent on its YouTube channel shows that the B Unique Crew did not perform to the Pushpa song; they performed to Believer by Imagine Dragons. One of the judges, actor Sofia Vergara, stood up in shock and held her head after watching their mind-bending performance. Host Terrence Lewis also looked shocked at what he had just watched. Sharing the video, the dance crew captioned it, 'We are B Unique Crew Proudly representing our nation on the world's biggest stage @agt America's Got Talent Season 20. And the judges said it loud — The BEST Performance of the Season!' The clip doing the rounds with the replaced Pushpa music is from when they auditioned for Season 20 of AGT. The judges and the crowd seemed impressed with their performance.

"Heights Of Pagal Panti": Saiyaara Veg Biryani Stall In Lucknow Goes Viral
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara has clearly struck a chord with the audience. But now, the film's popularity is spilling out of theatres and onto the streets - literally. A viral video from Dandaiya Market in Lucknow shows a street food stall inspired by the romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri. In the clip, the stall's name is styled in the exact same font as the movie title, Saiyaara. The place looks buzzing, with several people crowding around and one customer enjoying a plate of vegetarian biryani. The food stall is a perfect example of moment marketing - a real-time marketing strategy that involves leveraging current events, trends or cultural moments to engage with an audience. While the food offering has no relation to the film, the buzz is enough to make this small street-style cart go viral. The video has been trending on social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Check out the video here. Take a look at reactions in the comments section: "Saiyaaraa became a Brand," shared one user, while another said, "This is the real business." Someone added, " Yeh biryani wala pakka Aashiq hai. (This Biryani seller is a true lover)" We do not know whether the veg biryani here tastes good or not, but we have got to admit, the Saiyaara -themed food stall is pretty creative. What do you think?
