Former cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan slams Salman Khan’s Yentamma song from Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan: ‘Degrading our South Indian culture’

Laxman took to Twitter and wrote that makers of the film showed a “classical outfit” like lungi in a “disgusting manner” in the Yentamma video. “This is highly ridiculous and degrading our South Indian culture. This is not a LUNGI , THIS IS A DHOTI. A classical outfit which is being shown in a DISGUSTING MANNER.”

When another user wrote that they were wearing shoes inside the temple, the former cricketer said better research is the need of the hour. “Nowadays people do anything for money. Won’t they research what is a Lungi and a Dhoti. Even if it’s a set, it’s being projected as a temple. People associated with the movie should realise, no footwear inside the temple premises. Appealing to @CBFC_India to consider to BAN this,” he tweeted.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, scheduled to release during Eid on April 21, will mark Salman’s return to the big screen in a full-fledged role since his 2019 release Dabangg 3. The action comedy, directed by Farhad Samji, also stars Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal and Siddharth Nigam.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is a remake of the 2014 Tamil movie, Veeram, which chronicled the story of man whose four younger brothers wanted him to get married so that they could settle down too.
