Nandamuri Balakrishna-Urvashi Rautela’s “Dabidi Dibidi” song from Daaku Maharaaj sparks controversy for ‘obscene’ steps

Several users pointed out the significant age gap between the lead actors, with one user taking to X and writing, “What on earth did I just watch? 🤮🤮 A grown man dancing so inappropriately with someone who could be his daughter? Who even comes up with such ‘genius’ choreography, and why did the hero agree to this? Absolutely disgusting🙏🏻🙏🏻.”

Another user criticised the choreography, and responded to the earlier post by stating, “What do you mean grown man, he is of retirement age, old enough to be her grandpa😂.” The comments section of the song on YouTube is filled with viewers expressing their disgust over the song’s choreography.

Some users have also objected to the casting of North Indian actresses in Telugu films. A user also referenced a recent comment made by the film’s producer, Naga Vamsi, who stated that Bollywood filmmakers’ vision is limited to the audience of Bandra and Juhu, posh localities in Mumbai. The user sarcastically remarked, “Our Bandra Juhu directors don’t make this level of 💩, ” another person commented, “Another cringefest from this producer Vamsi 😂😂.”
