Kannada star Dhruva Sarja‘s upcoming film, ‘KD: The Devil’, is again embroiled in controversy. Following the recent removal of its promotional song ‘Sarke Chunar’, the film row has now escalated with a viral social media post from Rakshita, popular for her roles alongside NTR. Her fiery comments are fanning the flames, drawing immediate attention and igniting fresh debates across South Indian film circles.
‘KD’ Song Sparks Industry Debate
Kannada star Dhruva Sarja’s upcoming film, ‘KD: The Devil’, featuring Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, Nora Fatehi, and Reeshma in pivotal roles, has found itself embroiled in significant controversy ahead of its release. The ruckus began when objections were raised against the promotional song ‘Sarke Chunar’, leading to its removal from YouTube and an apology from Mangli, who sang its Telugu version.
Amidst this escalating controversy, the name of former star heroine Rakshita has resurfaced, drawing considerable attention. Rakshita, who gained significant recognition in Telugu cinema through roles like ‘Andhrawala’ opposite NTR and ‘Idiot’ with Ravi Teja, is now central to the discussion. Her prominent connection to ‘KD The Devil‘ stems from her being the wife of the film’s director, Prem.
Rakshita responded strongly to the Centre’s directive instructing Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) officials to remove the song. In a lengthy Instagram post that quickly went viral, she questioned the double standards, asking why previous songs like ‘Peelings’ (from Pushpa 2) and ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ were accepted normally by the public, while ‘Sarke Chunar’ generated such an uproar. She also emphasized the inappropriateness of personally abusing the director merely because a song is deemed unsuitable.
Rakshita: From Star to Vocal Producer
Rakshita began her acting career in Kannada with the film ‘Appu’, opposite superstar Puneeth Rajkumar. She then made her Tollywood debut when the same story was remade in Telugu as ‘Idiot’, where her portrayal of ‘Suchitra’ opposite Ravi Teja earned her considerable acclaim and a special place among the youth. She further solidified her presence in Telugu cinema with films such as ‘Andhrawala’.
After marrying director Prem in 2007, Rakshita largely withdrew from acting but remained actively involved in the film industry. She transitioned into production, helming successful films such as ‘Jogayya’, ‘Ek Love Ya’, and ‘DK’. She also made a captivating guest appearance in ‘Ek Love Ya’ and served as a judge and host on various television shows, consistently making her mark in the industry.
As controversies continue to swirl around ‘KD The Devil’, Rakshita’s outspoken comments have become a major talking point, further heating up discussions surrounding the film.
Looking Ahead
Rakshita’s comments undeniably intensify the ‘KD The Devil’ controversy, ensuring intense scrutiny. While such debates amplify buzz, the discerning South Indian audience holds the ultimate verdict. Will this storm propel the film to glory, or its content speak loudest? The final test awaits the box office.
