God and Religion are very sensitive topics and one has to be very careful while dealing with them. We have seen what happened with Nupur Sharma when she made objectionable comments on Prophet. All the Arab nations responded firmly and demanded strict action against her.
While the issue is still going on, a popular singer landed in a big controversy. Now people from her own religion are not happy with what she had done and they are demanding an apology from her for what she had done.
Noted Singer-dubbing artist Sravana Bhargavi is facing the heat for the video she dropped on YouTube. In the video, she sang an Annamayya keerthana. However, the video shows her singing the same while doing various things like walking around, sleeping on the bed, and playing with her legs.
A section of people have objections over the video and even the members of the Annammayya trust raised a few concerns over the song and asked her to remove the song from YouTube.
However, Sravana Bhargavi is saying that she has done nothing wrong and she will not remove the song. The trust members tried to make her understand the situation. But the singer is not listening, according to the trust members.
Annamayya keerthanas have a special place in the hearts of the Telugu people and they are seen as holy by many. Most of the time, the Keerthnas are played only in the temples. While making a video on such Keerthanas, Sravana Bhargavi should have given ears to what she is doing.
At least she should have understood the situation when the trust members raised a few reservations. But her response of saying no to the removal of the song is adding fuel to the controversy.

Ilaiyaraaja Wins Court Order to Remove Songs from Dude
Maestro Ilaiyaraaja continues to enforce strict action against the unauthorised use of his musical works, reaffirming his zero-tolerance stance on copyright violations. After securing a favourable verdict earlier this year against the makers of Good Bad Ugly, the legendary composer has now won another significant legal battle—this time against the team behind the recent Diwali release Dude, starring Pradeep Ranganathan.
In his petition before the Madras High Court, Ilaiyaraaja stated that two of his classic songs—“Karutha Machan” from Pudhu Nell, Pudhu Naathu and “Nooru Varusham Indha Maappillaum” from Panakkaran—were incorporated into Dude without his permission. The Court found prima facie evidence that the songs were modified and used without authorisation, thereby compromising the integrity of the original compositions and causing reputational harm to the composer.
Consequently, the Court issued an interim injunction prohibiting the use of Ilaiyaraaja’s songs in the film with immediate effect. A request from the production house, Mythri Movie Makers, seeking one week’s time to comply with the order was denied, underscoring the seriousness of the violation.
