According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, Dronamraju Srinivasa Rao, President of the All India Brahmin Federation, said, “These days, filmmakers are showing the Brahmin community in a very negative and poor light. In DJ, they have taken the words from Lord Shiva’s recital ‘Namakam Chamakam‘, and made a pun on it. We will not tolerate this…It is completely wrong and against Hindu culture. It is like shaming the Hindu Gods. We definitely oppose it and want to fight legally too.”
The report further states that Dronamraju has already registered a complaint to the regional censor board to which they have responded positively. A copy of the complaint has also been given to the Cinematography Minister and DGP of Telangana State.
