The song Sarke Chunar from KD The Devil has sparked controversy, from backlash over its lyrics to a reported fatwa against actor Nora Fatehi, who features in the track.
Director Prem has denied any intent to orchestrate the outrage, stating that his film is an emotional one and the song is meant to be something people dance to at parties.
He claims that the Hindi version of the song was translated by lyricist Raqueeb Alam, and he was unaware of the specific wording that later drew criticism.
Prem admits that the contentious lines have now been revised and the updated version will be sent to the Censor Board.
He expresses regret, saying, 'If anyone is hurt, I am very sorry. Our big film faced a small lyrics issue, but it has been blown out of proportion.'
