Liger: Aafat Song From Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday's Film Causes Outrage for Lyrics Mocking Rape
Another Twitter user also came out saying that they "wanted to get an idea of Puri Jagannadh's school of film-making before watching Liger". But his last film, iSmart Shankar, features a scene with sexual harassment, a while after which the girl gives in and says "ladka pasand aa gaya" that infuriated netizens even more. View the reactions on Twitter below.
The movie Liger and it's cast, including the director Puri Jagannadh recently came under attack for normalising rape culture. Many people noticed that the song "Aafat" used a rape scene dialogue from an old movie and netizens found it unacceptable for it to be used so lightly and only for "aesthetics" at that. Vijay and Ananya addressed the #BoycottBollywood trend but netizens seem to think what they said was no excuse to normalise rape. Puri Jagannadh Called Out for iSmart Shankar's ‘Sexual Harassment’ Scene Featuring Ram Pothineni and Nabha Natesh Ahead of Liger Release.
'Problematic'
