Actor Sunny Leone recently slammed the media for purportedly using the term “objectification” while discussing item songs in films. She asserted that reporters were the only users of this term to refer to these popular tracks that attract many moviegoers. Leone made these remarks while promoting her upcoming Tamil film Petta Rap in Kochi, Kerala.
“The only ones who are using the term ‘objectification’ are the media. Thousands of people come to theatres to watch movies because of these songs. That is not objectification, it is providing entertainment and we are here to provide that to the audience,” OnManorama quoted Leone as saying.
Leone further called on the media to stop using the term and to support cinema, emphasising that without such support, artistes like her may struggle to find work. “It means a lot to actors when you buy a ticket. Please ensure you support every film that comes out,” Leone added.
Directed by Malayali SJ Sinu, known for Theru (2023) and Djibouti (2021), Petta Rap also features Prabhudheva, Vedhika, Vivek Prasanna, Bagavathi Perumal and Ramesh Thilak in key roles. Touted as a musical action comedy, the film takes its title from the song of the same name from Prabhudheva’s Kadhalan (1994), with the original “Petta Rap” composed by Oscar-winner AR Rahman. The film’s cinematography is by Jithu Damodar, editing by Nishad Yusuf and the music is composed by D Imman.
Petta Rap is set to hit the screens on September 27.
