Remember the mouth step from the ‘’Po Po'' song video in Son of Sardaar? Well, it’s been updated! Fans now have a new dance step to enjoy, this time, it’s all in the fingers. Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 is set to release in theatres soon, and the makers are keeping the excitement high with every new reveal. While the movie has been creating a decent buzz, its new song has taken social media by storm. The first part of the movie had already been a source of memes, but the second instalment has truly captured the attention of the entire internet thanks to a recent dance move. Ajay Devgn's trolled for Son of Sardar season 2 dance step The new song, ''Pehla Tu Duja Tu", from the upcoming film featuring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, was released recently. While the song has received mostly positive responses, one particular element that didn't sit quite well with fans was the quirky hand dance step performed by Ajay and Mrunal. In the video, the duo can be seen performing a step using their fingers. As soon as the video of the song was released, it caught the attention of meme creators. A part of the song has now gone viral across social media platforms, garnering a wave of reactions. Some questioned the choreographer’s thought process behind creating this step, while others asked why Ajay and Mrunal agreed to perform it. Reacting to the song, one user wrote,''Ajay Devgn New Dance Unlock… 🤪😂.''

However, things eventually changed after Dhoom's success.</p><p>“I’ve walked into rooms where nobody even turns and looks at you. I’ve walked into a hotel lobby, and it didn’t make a difference. I expected it to make a difference because I’m a film star…You walk into a hotel lobby and you expect someone will come for an autograph, and then, nobody comes. You swallow that, and you keep going, " he said.</p><p>He continued, “A couple of months later, Dhoom comes out, and you walk into the Marriott, and the lobby comes to a standstill. You only value that because you’ve been on the other end. And because you’ve been on the other end, you never want to go back there, so you work even harder… I say this often: The foundation stone of success is laid on the ground of failure."</p>
