Sonu Nigam’s song for the upcoming movie “Kuladalli Keelyavudo” was removed before release, following his comments at a concert that upset Kannada movie fans. As a result, he is not allowed to collaborate with Sandalwood (the Kannada film industry) in the future.
The whole issue started at Sonu Nigam’s latest concert in Bengaluru when he declined a student’s persistent request for a Kannada song. Additionally, during the event, the singer drew parallels between this situation and recent events in Kashmir, suggesting that the student’s behavior was analogous to those incidents.
Eventually, the Karnataka Chamber of Commerce decided to halt any future collaborations with the singer due to an offensive comment he made.
Additionally, it’s been revealed that the creators of the forthcoming movie “Kuladalli Keelyavudo” have decided to exclude the song originally sung by Sonu from their production.
The creators expressed, “We wholeheartedly acknowledge Sonu Nigam’s musical talents. However, his recent remarks about Kannada at a performance left us dismayed. We find his actions disrespectful towards Kannada, and as a result, we have decided to take the song featuring him out of our production.
The previously mentioned song will be sung anew by another artist, and the fresh rendition is expected to be incorporated into the movie upon its release.
For individuals who may not be aware, a First Information Report (FIR) was filed against the singer by the Karnataka Police in response to his controversial statements. The authorities are currently investigating this matter, and Sonu Nigam has been summoned by them regarding these allegations.
In the interim, the 51-year-old vocalist has also extended an apology through social media platforms, making clear his motivations behind the statement made during the concert in Bengaluru.
As an ardent admirer, let me set the record straight about accusations that I’ve harmed the Kannada-speaking community. Truth be told, I proudly boast a distinct playlist filled with the melodious tunes of Kannada songs!
