Viral video: Mascot dressed as elephant groooves to ‘Kaavaalaa’, internet is impressed
A viral video from Kerala depicts what appears to be a dancing elephant, captivating social media users. However, viewers soon realize it's a man in an elephant costume, dancing to a popular Rajinikanth song.
A video capturing the mesmerizing dance moves of what appeared to be an elephant in Kerala has set social media abuzz. The clip, which circulated widely across platforms like Reddit and Instagram, showcased the "elephant" grooving to the popular Rajinikanth song, ‘Kaavaalaa,’ much to the amazement of viewers.
Despite the large crowd surrounding the dancing figure, many were astonished to discover that it was not a real elephant but a person clad in an elephant costume. The costume was so meticulously crafted that it seamlessly mimicked the movements of the majestic creature, adding an element of whimsy and entertainment to the streets of Kerala.
The chosen song, ‘Kaavaalaa,’ hails from the acclaimed Rajinikanth movie ‘Jailer,’ featuring renowned actress Tamannaah Bhatia. The combination of the catchy tune and the skillful choreography captivated audiences, leading to millions of views and widespread discussion on social media platforms.
Among the flood of comments, a recurring theme emerged as viewers grappled with the realization that the dancing elephant was, in fact, a human performer. Some expressed awe at the level of realism achieved, while others voiced concerns about potential animal abuse, unaware of the costume's true nature.
"I thought it was real," remarked one bewildered viewer, echoing the sentiments of many who initially mistook the performance for genuine wildlife footage.

Okay you do not understand how seen butterfly soup made me feel as a Tamilan. We get barely any representation in Western media, and a lot of kollywood/bollywood dubs cast light-skinned actors to play characters (also there isn’t much stuff about teenagers in kollywood). But then there’s butterfly soup, a video game no less, and it has one of their main character as a Tamilan. And she speaks tamil and she looks like me and sure, we may not be the exact same person but god does she make me feel so represented and so valid and so deserving of it. We need more representation of South Asians - and not just Indians who speak Hindi. I’m talking about those from Sri Lanka and Gujarat and Karnataka and Kerela and Tamil Nadu. I’m talking about all those South Asians who have to cling onto representation of North Indians when their South Indian culture is so very different. I’m talking about the people who don’t actually understand the Punjabi or Hindi spoken in the TV show or movie even though their South Asain. I’m talking about the people who have only ever eaten pani puri like twice in their life. I’m talking about the people who haven’t watched Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham but have seen Bahubali in it’s original language of Telegu. I love and will always respect and be grateful and proud of South Asian representation but it’s time to start branching out. It’s time to look at all the different cultures and regions and people of South Asia, and not just say “Oh we’ve put in a character that’s speaks Hindi, South Asian representation done.” It’s the 21st century and South Asians are tired of being generalised and not getting the representation they deserve. I shouldn’t have to cling onto a video game to feel seen. I shouldn’t have to dig and search to find something that shows South Asians exist in Western Spaces. It should be there, waiting for me.
This will probably be my most favorite episode. It made me feel childlike excitement that we feel when we are around someone who we have a crush on. Like its just so easy and pure, teenage crushes are so much fun. Jazmine trying to catch a glimpse of Milton everywhere she went was so cute. And I think her saying that she will never be able to forget him is probably because he managed to make her so happy this winter after her parents had separated. She had found a kindred spirit. It made me emotional because I’ll probably never get to go back to that teen phase of crushes and also cuz I am on my period so more emo ig :P BUT ITS SO FUCKING CUTE.
And he says you don’t even try to impress anyone and she smirks slightly when WE BOTH know that she did slowly try to get his attention like anyone who has a crush on anyone. ITS SO SIMPLE. My heart.
Moreover, tamil is one of my most favorite languages to hear. I wish i could speak it more fluently. It’s so beautiful and we know that english will never ever be able to capture the true essence of any indigenous language.
