India, Aug. 13 -- What began as a viral lip-sync video in 2019 has returned seven years later as one of Instagram's biggest nostalgia trends. Content creator Faisal Shaikh, aka Mr Faisu, and his creator group Team 07's recreation of Kishore Kumar's song Mere Mehboob Qayamat Hogi has found a new audience, with celebrities, politicians and creators now joining the trend, with some videos generating more than 165 million views. "It's overwhelming to see something we created many years ago come back in such a big way and become a part of Gen Z culture, even taking our country's politics in its stride," says Faisu. The reel's second innings, he believes, has taken it far beyond its original reach. "We didn't expect this kind of response back then. It was limited, but today, Gen Z, millennials and even boomers are recreating it. What started as a simple recreation became a big movement," he shares. The original video resurfaced during student protests in Delhi and Jharkhand, eventually prompting Faisu and Team 07 to reunite and recreate it. Their new version has crossed 155 million views on Instagram. "We saw that there was a gap of so many years and thought, why not bring back that moment? There was also this feeling of 'Season 1 ke players wapas aa gaye hain.' Since 2026 has brought back so many memories from the 2016-2019 era, we felt it was the perfect time to recreate something people loved back then." Faisu feels "surreal" as renowned celebrities are also hoping to join the viral trend. "I feel extremely happy and humbled. I loved when (actors) Anupam Kher sir and Boman Irani recreated it. And Raveena Tandon doing her version was amazing," he shares....
