Mukit Ali, a resident of Falaknuma in Hyderabad, has lodged a complaint against Omar Lulu, the director of upcoming Malayalam film ‘Oru Adaar Love’ over the lyrics of ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’, one of the songs in the movie. In his complaint, he claims that the song, when translated to English, hurts the sentiments of Muslims as it makes derogatory references to the Prophet. The song has been produced by music composer Shaan Rahman and actor-playback singer Vineeth Sreenivasan — the duo behind global hit song ‘Jimikki Kammal’.
Falaknuma Police Station Inspector P Yadadri said they have received a complaint but are yet to register an FIR. ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’ is a famous mappila paattu (a native genre popular among the Muslim community) that was originally composed by Thalassery K Refeeque to the lyrics penned by PMA Jabbar.
