Former Cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan SLAMS Salman Khan’s Song Yentamma; Says ‘This Is Highly Ridiculous And Degrading South Indian Culture’
Bollywood’s Sultan Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.’ Recently, the makers released another peppy number ‘Yentamma’ from the movie featuring Khan, Venkatesh Daggubati, Ram Charan, and Pooja Hegde dancing in dhotis. While many fans loved the foot-tapping number, former cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan seemed unimpressed by the song. He slammed the Hindi-Telugu fusion song saying it's degrading South Indian Culture.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Laxman re-posted a video from the song and wrote, “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.” One of the users reacted, “In temple premises wearing shoes b****y... doesn't deserve rating.” To this, the ex-cricketer said, “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.” ALSO READ: Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan's Song Yentamma OUT: Salman Khan, Ram Charan And Venkatesh Daggubati Dancing In Lungis Is Winning Hearts On Social Media-WATCH

On a related note, Farhad ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ has been directed by Farhad Samji and is bankrolled by Salman Khan Film Production. 

The movie is slated to hit the theatres on 21 April 2023, coinciding with the Eid festival.
