Nora Fatehi’s reaction

Nora said in the video on social media- ‘I shot this song in Kannada three years ago. I accepted it because it was a part of a big film and was with Sanjay Dutt. I was not involved in the Hindi version and was not aware of the changes.

He also told that when he saw the Kannada version of the song at the launch event, he saw some problems. But she was completely shocked after seeing the Hindi translation. He told the director that this was not right and distanced himself from the project.

Reaction of lawyers and religious organization
