Would you believe it if we said that men in an Iranian gym dance to a Kollywood number? Yes, we’re serious.
A video of a group of men dancing to actor Vijay’s Tamil song ‘Mambazhamam mambazham’ has gone viral. While we all dance to English hip-hop numbers during a workout, we’re guessing that it’s a rarity for a Tamil song to make it to the playlist of Iranians.
Sharing the clip, a Twitter user Anu Sehgal (@anusehgal) wrote on the micro-blogging site that the video is from a gym in Iran, where they play this Tamil song as they warm up.

The 53-second video immediately caught the attention of Twitterati, including Mahindra Group’s Chairman Anand Mahindra. It had garnered over 295K views when we last checked.
Are you serious? I love it. I’m going to make it my new morning routine. Going to get out of bed, put on some Tamil music & bounce out to meet the new day! @shivithukral https://t.co/JReqG0rmQE

Well, that escalated quickly.
Some Tamil group is going to claim Iran was once part of Tamil Nadu and that’s why they have natural affinity to Tamil cinema songs.

We totally agree with that!
My life is now complete. I have witnessed everything there is to witness

Next time someone asks you for a song suggestion for a workout, you know exactly what to send them.
Also, for those wondering which movie the song is from, here’s the video for you. Happy dancing!
