On Tuesday night, a group of Muslims in Hyderabad has lodged a complaint with the Falaknuma Police Station against the song featuring internet sensation Priya Prakash Varrier.

The complainant Zaheer Khan told CNN-News18, “The song’s lyrics are against Muslim sentiments and are offensive to the followers of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). The picturization of the song is a girl and boy romancing which is hurting religious sentiments. We demand song should be banned.”

Oru Adaar Love releasing next month is written and directed by Omar Lulu, and produced by Ousepachan Vaalakuzhy under the banner of Ousepachan Movie House has music by Shaan Rahman.
