What is the story about?
The song Sarke Chunar from Sanjay Dutt and Shilpa Shetty's KD- The Devil has created massive controversy over objectionable and obnoxious lyrics that left netizens fuming over the Kannada industry. And Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has broken her silence on the same.
What Kangana Ranaut said
The actress told ANI, "Bollywood has crossed all limits with vulgarity, tactics, and attention-seeking. The entire country is condemning and reprimanding them. But I don't think they have any shame. There needs to be even more strictness about the display of such vulgarity and obscenity...I think some strict rein will have to be put on Bollywood."
Netizens slam the actress
"Wow. This lady is out of control. Targeting Bollywood for the vulgarity that actually came from a kannada film."
"Kangana Ranaut has completely lost her mind after that airport slap, calling a Kannada movie a Bollywood film just to take a dig at Bollywood."
"Dear #KanganaRanaut ~ Why Don't You Study Or Read anything Propery everytime Before SPEAKING on Social Plateform 😭 ?
Is this a #Bollywood Song or #Kannada One ?
You were "Genuinely Beautiful and well Spoken until you were an ACTRESS -- But now."
"You can tell that she is salty that all her shitty movies flop lol. Not even a bollywood film."
What the lyricist said
Songwriter Raqueeb Alam on Tuesday distanced himself from the raging controversy over the sexually explicit lyrics of “Sarke Chunar” from Sanjay Dutt’s “KD The Devil”, saying the track was a translation from the original Kannada and he had initially refused to do it.
“I have not written these lyrics. They were written by the film’s director Prem in Kannada. When I was asked to write all this, I refused, saying such songs won’t work, and will be censored too. They told me to only literally translate the Kannada version and give it to them… they will set it to the song’s meter," Alam told HT City.
