Ram Pothineni’s Double iSmart lands in trouble over ‘item song’; BRS leader lodges police complaint against director Puri Jagannadh
The highly anticipated Telugu film Double iSmart faces trouble as a police complaint is filed against director Puri Jagannadh. The complaint alleges inappropriate use of a popular verse by former Telangana Chief Minister Chandrashekar Rao in the Maar Muntha Chod Chinta song.
Puri Jagannadh, renowned for his impactful dialogues in South Indian films like Pokiri, Chirutha, and Businessman, is currently facing backlash over his choice of words in promotional material for his upcoming film Double iSmart.
The controversy revolves around the recently released song Maar Muntha Chod Chintha. The lyricist Kasarla Shyam's use of the popular verse "Em Cheddam Antav Mari," which is closely associated with former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, has stirred controversy.
Makers of Ram Pothineni’s Double iSmart face police complaint over item song
The item song features Ram Pothineni and Kavya Thapar and is set against the backdrop of a celebratory scene with hundreds of inebriated individuals. The use of the specific verse, which loosely translates in English, “What do you think we should do?” in this context has been deemed disrespectful by some Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders.
As per reports by Telangana Today, BRS leader Rajitha Reddy has filed a complaint against director Puri Jagannadh and his team for their ‘indecent’ use of a phrase, famously associated with former Chief Minister and BRS president Rao.
The controversial use of the special number has sparked a police investigation against Puri.
Maar Muntha Chod Chinta is the second song from Double iSmart after Steppa Maar, which was released on July 16. Penned by Kasarla Shyam, the lyrics capture the raw essence of Ram Pothineni's character.
Mani Sharma composed the music, with vocals by Rahul Sipligunj, Dhanunjay Seepana, and Keerthana Sharma.
