Controversy has erupted around Puri Jagannadh’s upcoming Telugu film “Double iSmart” due to its latest song, ‘Maar Muntha Chod Chinta’. Senior Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Rajitha Reddy has filed a police complaint against the director, alleging that the song disrespects former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao by using a phrase associated with him in an inappropriate context.
The song, featuring Ram Pothineni and Kavya Thapar, is known for its energetic Hyderabadi slang and catchy beats. It’s the second song released from the film, which is a sequel to the popular “iSmart Shankar” and marks Sanjay Dutt’s debut in Telugu cinema. Scheduled for release on August 15, the film has been eagerly anticipated by fans.
Puri Jagannadh has yet to respond publicly to the allegations, and the police are currently investigating the matter. The controversy has sparked discussions on artistic freedom and the portrayal of public figures in entertainment.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the film’s reception and whether any changes will be made to address the concerns raised by Rajitha Reddy and others.
