Daniyal Zafar trolls himself over viral 'Zanjeerain' backflip scene
Pakistani actor and singer Daniyal Zafar has hilariously addressed the viral discussion surrounding his backflip sequence in the latest episode of Zanjeerain, playfully joining in on the memes that have taken over social media.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Daniyal jokingly responded to fans who had been questioning the dramatic action sequence by sharing what appeared to be the "behind-the-scenes" of his backflip preparation.
His first story featured a screenshot from the iconic 1993 fighting game Mortal Kombat II, showing the legendary character Liu Kang performing his signature Bicycle Kick against Reptile.
Accompanying the image, Daniyal humorously wrote:
"There's so much that goes into action sequences. For all those asking how we did the backflip, I'm posting a BTS of my preparation for the kick in the next story and what all it took."
In the follow-up story, however, the actor surprised fans with a comedic twist. Instead of sharing actual training footage, he posted a dubbed clip from a classic Bruce Lee film in which the martial arts legend is seen instructing a young student. The famous scene had been humorously dubbed in Punjabi, adding a light-hearted spin to Bruce Lee's iconic philosophy.
The story was captioned:
"BTS of backflip kick prep." Below it, Daniyal added: Grateful to my coach"
His tongue in cheek response came after the latest Zanjeerain episode sparked a wave of memes across social media, with many internet users poking fun at the unexpected backflip sequence and joking that it felt unnecessary for the scene. Rather than ignoring the online chatter, Daniyal embraced the humor and joined fans in laughing at the viral moment.
