Controversy

The video of the song titled 'karabuu' in which the protagonist and scores of his other side kick goons appear to be harassing the leading lady (Rashmika Mandanna), has irked a lot of people. The character played by actor Dhruva Sarja was touching a woman inappropriately and visibly unconsented throughout the video. There were violent scenes like setting bikes ablaze to get her attention, and threatening her with a knife on streets while his side kicks keep cheering him to do more of this to the terrified woman, who ironically is his love interest. The video appears to be glorifying the harassment and eve-teasing, and was panned for the same by women right activists in media.[15][16] The actress, who has earlier done a Telugu movie Dear Comrade with 'women harassment' as a major plot point, was also called out for signing such a movie, was alleged that she did so just for the money.[17] A police compliant was registered against the director about the brutal eve teasing.[18][19] "In the song, hero Dhruva Sarja is trying to win Rashmika Mandanna’s heart by showing her knives, getting his henchmen to destroy vehicles as she walks, doing pull-ups with her holding onto him" stated the article[20]
