4 min readHyderabadApr 30, 2026 03:33 PM IST Marketed as a pan-India film that was supposed to release in five languages, KD: The Devil opened in cinemas today, April 30, in only Kannada. KVN Productions’ controversy-hit film could not come out in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi dubbed versions as the film’s censor certification came in late, making it impossible to hit the deadline. Sunil Narang, a distributor and producer in the Telugu film industry, told SCREEN that the dubbing for the Telugu version is yet to be completed. He said the team is currently targeting May 7 as a possible release date, though no official confirmation has come from the producers yet. The production house has acknowledged the problem. Mohan Suprith, Head of Business and Operations at KVN Productions, told SCREEN, “We had a setback with the censor board, which resulted in a delayed certification for the original Kannada version of the film. Since the dubbed versions cannot be sent to the censor board without the original language certificate in place, we were left …

4 min readHyderabadApr 29, 2026 09:02 PM IST It took less than 48 hours for Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke to go from a promotional release to a banned track. In the weeks since, the song from KD: The Devil has attracted NHRC notices, a parliamentary debate, a public disavowal from performer Nora Fatehi, and summons from the National Commission for Women. At a press conference held with the film’s team, Kichcha Sudeep became the most prominent voice to stand beside director Prem through all of it, arguing that the director’s record in Kannada cinema deserves more weight than a single disputed song. At a recent press conference held with the film’s team, Kichcha Sudeep was asked about the controversy surrounding Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, the Hindi version of the song featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt that drew a wall of criticism for its sexually explicit lyrics. Rather than distancing himself from the episode, Sudeep chose to speak in defence of the man who directed the film and wrote the original Kannada lyrics. He pointed …

The song is being criticised for its vulgar lyrics and highly suggestive dance steps. Sung by Mangli, with lyrics by Raqeeb Alam and music composed by Arjun Janya, the song outraged the internet with double entendre lyrics ostensibly about liquor. The song’s outright vulgar lyrics compare a woman to a bottle of alcohol using double meanings. Singer Armaan Malik wrote on social media, “This showed up on my timeline and I had to replay it just to make sure I heard it right. Sad to see commercial songwriting hit a new low.” This showed up on my timeline and I had to replay it just to make sure I heard it right.
