Thalapathy Vijay has landed in troubled waters for his upcoming film Leo. And all fingers are pointed toward the recently-released song from the film, Naa Reddy. The song featuring Thalapathy Vijay showed him flaunting his energetic moves while smoking cigarettes. Soon after, a social activist based in Chennai raised objections to the song, alleging that the film was promoting substance abuse. Following the complaint, the film team of Leo has added a smoking disclaimer to the Naa Reddy song, ending any further criticism.
Thalapathy Vijay faces lawsuit for Naa Reddy song
The Chennai-based activist named Selvam lodged a police complaint against Thalapathy Vijay and his film Leo. The complainant claimed that the Naa Reddy song promotes smoking and alcohol consumption which might be responsible for provoking and influencing youngsters to do drugs. Selvam, in his report, added that he would be filing a lawsuit against Thalapathy Vijay in court.
Leo makers added smoking disclaimer in Naa Reddy song
Not long after Selvam filed the complaint, the makers of Leo sprang into action, adding a smoking disclaimer to the Naa Reddy song. Composed by the talented Anirudh Ravichander, and sung collaboratively by Lavanya Potharaju and Ganesh Vanthadupula, Naa Reddy is Leo’s first song to be released. It captured Thalapathy Vijay in a rugged avatar, dancing his heart out with a group of background dancers.
