Mangli and Norah react to the KD The Devil song controversy. Dhruva Sarja's KD-The Devil directed by Prem landed in the huge controvery over the song Sarse Ninna Seraga Sarse (Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke in the Hindi version of the film).
Following this, the makers were forced to remove the song from all social media platforms. In the meantime, Norah Fatehi who acted in the song and singer Mangli reacted to the controversy.
Norah Fatehi said “This was a song opposite an icon, Sanjay Dutt. Who would say no to working with him? When I was on set, I was relying on the filmmaker to translate the song, and when they were shooting it nothing seemed inappropriate or vulgar. What they have done right now is a Hindi version and dubbing with really obscene words, overlaid over my dance. I had no idea and no one took my approval. When I attended the launch of the Kannada song I also saw they used very unflattering images of me in the lyrical version and also used AI-generated images of me and Sanjay Dutt.”
She continued “I told the director this is not Okay, there will be backlash,” In the meantime, singer Mangli shared her thoughts saying : “Out of respect for public sentiment, the song has been removed from all platforms. I sincerely apologies to each and every one of you for the unintended mistake. It was never meant to hurt anyone's sentiments, and we truly regret the oversight.”
“The corrected version of the lyrics has now been updated, and the revised version of the song will be released today evening. We assure you that such a situation will not arise again,” she further wrote, adding, “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the makers of the film and music director Arjun Janya sir, for whom I have the highest regard.”
