The legendary figure of Arjan Vailly holds a prominent place in Punjabi folklore, primarily known for his involvement in a famous altercation at the ‘Roshani Mela’ festival in Ludhiana’s Jagraon town. Recently, this folklore hero has resurfaced in the spotlight due to the song ‘Arjan Vail’ featured in Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming movie ‘Animal.’
A Storied Legacy
Arjan Vailly’s narrative has endured for over four decades, thanks to the timeless song ‘Putt Jattan De’ from the 1983 movie featuring Shatrughan Sinha. The festival fight at ‘Roshani Mela’ remains a defining moment in Punjab’s cultural memory.
Revival in ‘Animal’
Ranbir Kapoor’s movie ‘Animal’ has rekindled interest in Arjan Vailly, with the ‘Arjan Vail’ song making waves. The song’s resonance has prompted a Toronto-based individual to claim a familial connection, asserting that Arjan Vailly was his great-grandfather.
The Vailly Persona
In the regional context, “Vailly” is a term used to describe an individual always ready for a confrontation, often indifferent to legal constraints. Arjan Vailly’s reputation as either a virtuous or contentious character hinges on whom he chooses to challenge, be it the powerful or the vulnerable.
Personal Claim from Toronto
Adding a contemporary twist to the legend, a man from Toronto has stepped forward, asserting a familial link to Arjan Vailly as his great-grandfather. This claim adds a personal dimension to the enduring folklore.
The resurgence of Arjan Vailly’s story, fueled by the ‘Animal’ song and the familial claim from Toronto, underscores the enduring power of folklore in shaping cultural identities.
