"Tunak Tunak Tun" was first released in 1998, becoming a sensational hit for the Bhangra/Indi-Pop genre thanks to Mehndi's catchy music video. The music video, filmed for a whopping $610, has become famous meme on the Internet in the decades since its debut.

Now the global single Mehndy has secured a foothold in the Fortnite Hall of Fame as players will soon be able to purchase the "Tunak Tunak Tun" emote for a limited time.

Surprisingly, the demand for a Mehndy song to be placed in Fortnite has been around for quite some time.

Some fans have pointed to Reddit posts from 2019 as one of the first requests to see the emote in the game.

The leak was initially spotted by the reputable @ralisdumb before exploding all over social media. However, Emote does not currently have a specific release date.

However, since the files are ready to be deployed into the game, it's likely that we'll be experiencing the "Tunak Tunak Tun" emote soon.

The latest batch of Fortnite content has been incredibly varied since the start of the new season. With everything from Spider-Man: No Way Home to Cobra Kai, and everything else in between, Epic Games doesn't stop on their glorious path to bring famous characters together in the game.
