Salman Khan’s dance moves in a Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan song is getting trolled. Again. The new Yentamma song has also got South Indian fans upset to an extent, who have argued that Bollywood’s representation of South Indian culture has been a misfire once again. The “nachenge apni, utha karke lungi” verse is getting flak, with South Indians pointing out that what features in the song is actually a veshti, not a lungi. While a lungi is usually a patterned casualwear for men, the veshti is a more formal attire (a dhoti in Hindi).
Before Yentamma, Salman’s dance moves in the songs Jee Rahe The Hum and Naiyo Lagda were also trolled quite a bit. In fact, the actor poked some fun at his own moves in Jee Rahe The Hum, writing “Woh joh falling wala step hai jisme koi step nahiin hai, woh karke dikha do… love ka toh pata nahiin falling is sure…” in an Instagram post.
Here’s what people have been saying about Yentamma.
When will Bollywood ever have a budget to buy actual lungi for lungi songs and not veshtis.. https://t.co/GH0CDhvHuX— Sam (@gingerbonda) April 8, 2023

This guy has the audacity to say OTT content must be censored but does this shameful representation of South Indian culture. Also Jani master is the choreographer. How delightful https://t.co/i8J8LDo8IV— Imthiaz Muhassin (@ImthiazMuhassin) April 7, 2023
