Pawan Kalyan Steps In to Prevent Item Song Controversy

When Nandamuri Balakrishna recently endorsed Mansion House brand, many commented that it is ethically not right for a Padma award winner to promote a liquor brand. However, it is a kind of head ache that comes when you sit in a responsible position. In a similar incident, Pawan Kalyan acted smartly to avoid a controversy for his next release Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

As a deputy chief minister of a state, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan will have immense social responsibility. Everything that he does and everything that happens around him will come under huge scrutiny. Recently, he happened to listen to the fourth single of his next film HHVM which is an item song. Pawan found some lyrics objectionable and immediately requested the team to change them.

MM Keeravani who is the music director of the film revealed this to the media in the recent press meet. Keeravani praised Pawan’s social responsibility saying that he avoided unnecessary controversy with the song. Usually, people enjoy the negative attention that comes with a controversy, which will more or less serve as a publicity tool for any film. We have seen this in the case of many movies recently. But, Pawan showed his commitment and asked the team to change the lyrics.

Named Tara Sitara, the fourth single will be released soon and the film is hitting the screens on June 12th. Directed by AM Jyothi Krishna & Krish Jagarlamudi, the film is bankrolled by AM Rathnam. Bobby Deol, Niddhi Agerwal, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Niddhi Agerwal and others are a part of the film.
