British Pakistani actor Riz Ahmed is releasing his solo rap song, Mogambo, and the reference comes exactly where you think it comes from.

Talking to Jimmy Kimmel on his talk show, Riz said that Mogambo is the ‘most famous super villain in all of Bollywood films’ and later went on to teach him the popular catchphrase- Mogambo Khush Hua.
The moment when @jimmykimmel said “mogambo khush hua”. 😂😎

Fair to say, Jimmy nailed the dialogue, but he faces a strong competition from Tom Hardy.
In a tweet posted by Riz, his Venom co-star Hardy can be seen impersonating Mogambo, and totally killing it with those expressions.
Tom Hardy gives us his best #mogambo – what’s the verdict? Think u can do better? Post urs here with #mogambo before the single drops Oct 3rd… pic.twitter.com/TEkyvi9vdt

Riz also asked his fans to send him videos of them saying the dialogue, and has been retweeting them.
