'We will not tolerate this': Allu Arjun's DJ film song offends Brahmin community

Allu Arjun’s upcoming film Duvvada Jagannadham (DJ) is in trouble, with Brahmin associations objecting to some of the lyrics in a recently released song from the film.

“These days, filmmakers are showing the Brahmin community in a very negative and poor light. In DJ, they have taken the words from Lord Shiva’s recital Namakam Chamakam, and made a pun on it. We will not tolerate this,” says Dronamraju Srinivasa Rao, President of the All India Brahmin Federation, while adding that he has already given a complaint to the regional censor board to remove those words.

“The censor officer responded positively,” says Dronamraju.

Directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Dil Raju, the film stars Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde while the recently released song is written by Sahithi. “We can’t use words from Namakam Chamakam in a romantic song. It is completely wrong and against Hindu culture. It is like shaming the Hindu Gods. We definitely oppose it and want to fight legally too,” says Dronamraju, who has given copy of the complaint to the Cinematography Minister and DGP of Telangana State too.
