Priya Prakash moves top court against FIR filed against her over folk song
Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 19 (IBNS): Priya Prakash, who has gained fame due to her wink video from an upcoming film, on Monday moved the Supreme Court against the First Information Report (FIR) filed against her and director over the picturisation of a folk song in the movie, media reports said.
Priya, who is one of the lead characters of the Malayalam film Oru Adaar Love, was seen winking at a boy while song Manikya Malaraya Poovi was played in the romantic scene.
Priya in her petition stated the song praises the love between Prophet Mohammed and his wife Khadeeja and the complainants misunderstood it.
"The song is a folk song and has been in existence for the last 40 years and cherished by the Muslim community of more than one crore in Kerala. The allegation that the song hurts sentiments of Muslims is baseless because there is no FIR in Kerala. People misunderstood the song in non-Malayalam-speaking states," the 18-year old actor's petition was quoted by NDTV.
The sweet video, where a girl, who is none other than Priya, could be seen winking at a boy, exchanging unsaid love messages, started treading across all social media platforms in India.
Oru Adaar Love will make Priya's acting debut in south Indian movies.
In fact, she is one of the few celebrities in the world who has got more than 600k followers in just 24 hours. She is currently having 3.8 millions followers on Instagram.
Her account has now been verified too by Instagram.
