Anirudh in trouble over Youtube teaser

Chennai: A city-based advocate ap­proached the police co­mmissioner’s office on Monday to file a complaint against young music composer Aniru­dh Ravichander of Why this kolaveri fame, cont­e­nding that the musician’s new audio single, the teaser of which was recently released on YouT­ube, contains der­og­­atory marks against women.

The song titled, Aint nobody ****in with my music, released on the video-sharing website on January 16 and extensively publicised by him in social media websites, contains obsc­e­ne and immoral lyrics and degrades women in pa­r­t­icular, stated S. Jeb­adas Pandian in his co­mplaint. In his complaint, the advocate sou­g­­ht police action against Anirudh, citing that the song amounts to a crime under the Indian Penal Code and the Informat­i­on Technology Act.

Anirudh, who achie­v­ed celebrity status and fa­­me at a young age, had ch­o­sen to abuse the sa­me and corrupt youth by exposing them to perverse lyrics and provoking them, the complaint read.

The lawyer also alleged that the music video had been released without obtaining censor certification under the Indian Cinematog­r­aph Act. All releases, including teasers and trailers are subject to censor certification, the advocate said. The video has now been taken down from websites by the uploaders.

Salman Khan and Venkatesh to co-star in Hindi film soon

If everything goes according to plan, superstars Salman Khan and Venkatesh will soon co-star in a Hindi film.

Spilling the beans, a source close to Venkatesh says, “Talks are going on. The two are discussing a few scripts. Both are keen on working with each other. It will definitely be a Hindi film.”

He adds, “Salman and Venkatesh are having a great time bonding with each other between their shoots. After the shoot, the duo roams on bikes (separately) in and around Film City in Hyderabad.”

When contacted, Venkatesh was quite upbeat about the bonding. “Shootings of our films are taking place very close by. Whenever I get some time, I drop by the sets of his film. While we’re shooting a few action scenes for our Telugu remake of Bol Bachchan, Salman is busy with the action sequences for Mental.”

Venkatesh adds, “We’re good friends. We are more than friends. Salman is very close to our family and he’s our well-wisher and vice versa. I’m having a great time with him. I’d definitely like to work with him.”

The actor, however, plays down the upcoming project with Salman Khan. He says, “The project is on the cards. But nothing has been finalised yet.”
