Former India spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan blasted a new song from Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s upcoming movie ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’. The track, ‘Yentamma’ begins with Salman Khan dancing to his own rhythm as he is joined by co-star and veteran actor Venkatesh. The video shows Salman Khan and South star Venkatesh Daggubati twinning in bright yellow shirts, mundu and sunglasses. However, Sivaramakrishnan, who has played nine Tests and 16 ODis, blasted the song due to the inappropriate use of mundu (dhoti), saying that it is “highly ridiculous” and “degrading” the South Indian culture.
“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,” Sivaramakrishnan tweeted.
