Since the release of the promotional video of the film Oru Adaar Love’s Manikya Malaraya Poovi song on YouTube, there has been immense criticism and outrage over it. The film’s director has come out to claim that the song is about the love story between Prophet Mohammad and his first wife.
There were complaints filed claiming that the song hurt religious sentiments of people. It started with an FIR filed by a man in Hyderabad trickling down to multiple complaints in Mumbai by people and organizations.
