Aa Dingalu fame Chetan Kumar has taken a jibe at Pogaru’s leading man Dhruva Sarja and his song Karabuu for its problematic content. Although the actor refrained from directly taking any names, folks
The
makers
of
the
Sandalwood
biggie,
Pogaru
recently
released
its
first
song,
Karabuu
featuring
the
lead
pair,
Dhruva
Sarja,
and
Rashmika
Mandanna.
The
mass
number
has
already
garnered
close
to
10
million
views
on
Youtube.
However,
the
controversial
song
has
also
received
severe
criticism
from
many
sections
for
encouraging
harassment,
depicting
archaic
stereotypes
of
toxic
masculinity
and
glorification
of
violence
against
women.
And
now,
Aa
Dingalu
fame
Chetan
Kumar
has
taken
a
jibe
at
Pogaru’s
leading
man
Dhruva
Sarja
and
his
song
Karabuu
for
its
problematic
content.
Although
the
actor
refrained
from
directly
taking
any
names,
folks
online
were
quick
to
decipher
that
the
post
was
directed
towards
Dhruva.
It
all
started
when
Dhruva
wished
his
fans
and
followers
for
Ambedkar
Jayanti
(Tuesday,
14
April)
on
Twitter.
This
was
closely
followed
by
Chetan’s
rebuttal
that
read,
"A
Kannada
film
actor
calls
women
'dog,
fox,
insect'
Acts
in
a
song
where
as
'romance',
he
pulls
heroine's
hair;
threatens
to
electrocute
&
cut
her
throat;
assaults
women
all
w/
no
consent
Now
wishes
#AmbedkarJayanti
w/
glorification
of
religious
figure
Sick,
ironic,
ignorant”
(sic).
For
the
unversed,
Karabuu
song
has
a
group
of
goons
and
their
leader,
essayed
by
the
Action
Prince,
harass
the
leading
lady.
It
has
been
crooned
by
Chandan
Shetty,
who
has
also
composed
songs
for
Pogaru.
Written
and
directed
by
Nanda
Kishore,
the
action
entertainer
has
been
bankrolled
by
B
K
Gangadhar
under
the
banner
of
Sri
Jagadguru
Movies.
