The song Jamal Kudu is inspired by a popular Iranian folk number called Jamaal Jamaaloo. The song, first sung by the Shirazi Choir of the Kharazemi Girls High in 1950, was inspired by a poem written by the Iranian poet Bijan Smandar. Music composer Harshvardhan Rameshwar transformed the song to make it a part of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Animal.
