The electrifying track Malhari from the 2015 film Bajirao Mastani, starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, has found its way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Featured in an episode of What If…? Season 3, this high-energy song has been recreated in the animated series, leaving fans of both franchises thrilled.

In the second episode of What If…? Season 3, titled What If… Agatha Went to Hollywood?, Bollywood actor-turned-superhero Kingo, played by Kumail Nanjiani, dances to the Malhari track. The superhero’s choreography mirrors the original moves performed by Ranveer Singh in the song, blending Bollywood flair with Marvel’s superhero universe.

Bhansali Productions Shares Their Pride

Bhansali Productions, the team behind Bajirao Mastani, shared their excitement by posting the video on their Instagram Stories. The post expressed their pride in seeing the song’s impact in the global Marvel Cinematic Universe, captioned with a heart emoji: “So proud to see the electrifying spirit of Malhari leaving its mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Netizens React To The Malhari Parody

The moment has garnered massive attention online, with fans raving about the unexpected crossover. On social media, users expressed their excitement about seeing Malhari in a Marvel show. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “The fact that Kingo is dancing to a Malhari parody in an MCU show alone makes it the best thing in the world!” Others on Instagram called it “perfect” and “insane,” with many fans leaving heart and fire emojis in appreciation.

Composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, sung by Vishal Dadlani, and written by Prashant Ingole, Malhari was a standout track in Bajirao Mastani, a period drama filled with tragic romance. Directed by Bhansali, the film starred Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra, and was released in 2015. Bhansali is now working on another epic, Love & War, which will star Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.
