Looks like there's more trouble for the country's latest love interest Priya Prakash Varrier's upcoming Malayalam film, Oru Adaar Love. Earlier, a complaint was filed at the Falaknuma police station in Hyderabad, against the director of the film, Omar Lulu, stating that the lyrics of the song hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslims.
The complaint also alleged that the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi from Oru Adaar Love, had objectionable reference to Prophet Muhammed's wife. While demands of removing the song from the film were made, the director refused to remove the tack from the film.
Now, the latest development suggests that a fatwa has been issued over the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi, which went viral after a clip from the song, featuring Priya Prakash Varrier, arching her eyebrows, winking naughtily and blushing at a boy who crushes on her, broke the Internet. As per ANI, Hyderabad's Jamia Nizamia Seminary has issued a fatwa against the Oru Adaar Love song, urging the authorities concerned to remove it from the film before its release.
While the director had maintained in a press conference held on Wednesday, that he will not delete the song from the film as there's nothing objectionable in it. Earlier, he had also told PTI that the Censor Board will take the final call on the matter but as of now, the song will not be removed from the film.
Lulu was also quoted as saying, "The song written by CMA Jabbar is sung during marriages and every celebration in Malabar region of North Kerala. Malabar Muslims have been singing this song since 1978. If it was not objectionable then, how has it become objectionable now?"
