Music composer Anirudh Ravichander is facing intense criticism after his collaboration with choreographer Jani Master on the song Aravindh. Jani is currently out on bail in a POCSO case.
The song, released under Anirudh's independent label, marks his first release following a partnership with Universal Music India.
Several social media users have questioned Anirudh's decision to work with Jani, citing a pattern of individuals facing serious accusations continuing to land major projects without consequences.
Online criticism has been sharp, with users calling out Jani's continued involvement in major projects despite the serious allegations against him.
The case against Jani involves a former assistant accusing him of sexually assaulting her during a work trip to Mumbai in 2020, which was also registered under the POCSO Act.
Anirudh has not issued any public statement addressing the backlash or explaining his decision to work with Jani.
