During the hearing, the NCW addressed the vulgarity and the indecent representation of women in the song and also questioned its intent, awareness and accountability.
NCW chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar underlined the responsibility of senior and influential figures in ensuring that their work remains within the bounds of legal and societal standards. She also raised concerns about whether sufficient scrutiny was exercised before engaging in material that could be seen as objectifying women.
The actor also assured that going forward, his artists’ agreements will include mandatory legal due diligence provisions to ensure that women and children are not represented indecently.
The Hindi version of the Kannada song was released on March 15 on YouTube. However, following outrage over the lyrics and the NCW’s intervention, the song was pulled down from the platform. Directed by Prem and starring Dhruv Sarja, the Kannada film KD: The Devil is currently slated for a theatrical release on April 30.
