Is there an uncanny similarity between ‘Tom and Jerry’ and ‘Pushpa’? | WATCH

With the overwhelming success of Allu Arjun’s latest film, ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule,’ an intriguing claim has taken social media by storm. A viral post shared by X user @DesiMemesTweets has drawn comparisons between the movie’s iconic moments and scenes from the classic cartoon series Tom and Jerry, leaving fans buzzing with amusement.

The post, accompanied by a cleverly edited video, highlights striking similarities between the animated antics of Tom and Jerry and key sequences from ‘Pushpa 2.’ In the clip, Jerry is shown performing a hand gesture resembling Allu Arjun’s signature move in the film, while Tom is seen mimicking the famed hook steps from the song ‘Srivalli’ and Jerry imitating those from ‘Saami Saami,’ featuring Rashmika Mandanna alongside Arjun.

“This means Pushpa, Bahubali, RRR movie's epic scenes were copied from Tom & Jerry?” reads the video’s caption. The post also humourously draws parallels between iconic scenes from other blockbuster films like ‘Bahubali’ and ‘RRR’ with the animated cat-and-mouse duo’s antics.

The video has amassed hundreds of thousands of views, sparking debates among fans. While some users were amazed by the uncanny resemblance, others praised the creativity of those who identified the similarities.

One user offered a plausible explanation, suggesting that Jerry’s hand gesture in the clip was likely the result of skillful editing rather than direct inspiration. This isn’t the first time such comparisons have gone viral; similar videos made rounds on social media following the release of ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ in 2021.
