Nora Fatehi and Yo Yo Honey Singh recently unveiled the music video for their new track “Body Roll.” Soon after the music video dropped online, social media users began drawing comparisons between its visuals and Jibaro, the acclaimed episode from Love, Death & Robots.

Released on YouTube over the weekend, “Body Roll” rapidly crossed over two million views within a short span. The fantasy-inspired video features Nora draped in elaborate golden jewellery and ornate costumes as she emerges from a lake in a mysterious forest, seemingly trying to lure a soldier-like character.

What’s in Body Roll video?

The video opens with a man dressed in medieval-style clothing running through a forest before reaching a lake. Covered in tattoos and jewels, he notices Nora Fatehi rising dramatically from the water in shimmering gold attire and intricate headgear. The sequence eventually transitions into a high-energy dance performance featuring Nora and a troupe of backup dancers.

Soon after the video dropped, several viewers began comparing its aesthetic and visual storytelling to Jibaro, the ninth episode from the third season of Love, Death & Robots, which premiered on Netflix in 2022.

Directed by Alberto Mielgo, the episode follows a lone conquistador encountering a mysterious siren-like entity deep within the jungle. The siren, covered in gold ornaments, also emerges from a lake, while the male character sports tattoos, piercings, and warrior-inspired styling, details many fans felt were too similar to ignore.

Nora Fatehi calls it ‘inspired’

Nora Fatehi also appeared to acknowledge the comparisons after content creator Filmy Sonia shared side-by-side clips from both videos on Instagram. Responding to the reel, the actor commented, “Inspired and obsessed! Now we have a real life version.”

However, her use of the word “inspired” triggered further debate online, with many social media users questioning where inspiration ends and copying begins. Reacting to the clip, one user wrote, “I just saw the teaser, and I felt like it isn’t this Jibaro? And it sure was a full-fledged copy.”

One Instagram user commented, “Calling something ‘inspired’ is hard to digest when Bollywood has a history of copying. It really makes me mad when original art is copied with no credits given. And to what extent can you be inspired so as to copy the whole sequence??”

Another user wrote, “For people who say inspired, do you know the meaning of inspired, this is a clear copy as always.”
