Salman Khan’s new song Yentamma from his upcoming Eid release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has not gone down well with former cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan. The cricketer-turned-cricket commentator took to Twitter and slammed the song, accusing it of ‘degrading our South Indian culture.’ For the unversed, the music video features Salman and Venkatesh Daggubati dancing in a veshti/dhoti but the song’s lyrics call it ‘lungi.’
Reposting the music video, Laxman tweeted, “This is highly ridiculous and degrading our South Indian culture. This is not a LUNGI , THIS IS A DHOTI. A classical outfit which is being shown in a DISGUSTING MANNER.” When a Twitter user informed him that the actors were wearing shoes in a temple set up, Laxman called out the makers for lack of research.

“Nowadays people do anything for money. Won’t they research what is a Lungi and a Dhoti. Even if it’s a set, it’s being projected as a temple. People associated with the movie should realise, no footwear inside the temple premises. Appealing to @CBFC_India to consider to BAN this,” he tweeted.
