Laxman Sivaramakrishnan raised questions on the song 'Yentamma'

Former cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan on Saturday took to his Twitter handle to troll the makers of "Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan" of "demeaning" South Indian culture in the recently released song. The former cricketer tweeted, 'This is extremely ridiculous and insulting to our South Indian culture. This is not a lungi, A traditional dress being shown in a disgusting manner. 

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 https://t.co/c9E0T2gf2d — Laxman Sivaramakrishnan (@LaxmanSivarama1) April 8, 2023

Urging the Central Board of Film Certification to take action against the makers, the former cricketer said in another tweet, 'Nowadays people do anything for money. Don't they research what is lungi and dhoti. Even though it is a set, it is being projected as a temple. People associated with the film should know that no shoes are worn inside the temple premises. I am appealing to the Central Board of Film Certification to consider banning it.

Some other Twitter users also agreed with the former cricketer. A user wrote, 'Even people who stay away from controversies are criticizing Bollywood. Will Bollywood ever learn?' Another user wrote, 'Well said sir, this is disgusting and it is completely disrespecting and disrespecting our culture!'

One comment said, 'It is not only about lungi or South Indian culture, Bollywood has always shown any Indian culture in a bad way or in a very crude form'.
