Actor-dancer Nora Fatehi has addressed the controversy surrounding the song ‘Sarke Chunar’ from the upcoming film KD: The Devil, clarifying her stance after the Hindi version of the track drew criticism for its sexually explicit lyrics.
The Hindi rendition of the song, which featured Fatehi alongside Sanjay Dutt, sparked backlash on social media soon after its release. The track was eventually taken down from YouTube following the outrage, though it had already gone viral. The film, directed by Prem and headlined by Dhruva Sarja, is scheduled to release on April 30, 2026, in multiple languages.
In a four-minute video shared on Instagram, Fatehi said she had no knowledge of the Hindi version or its lyrics. She explained that she had originally shot the song three years ago in Kannada and had agreed to be part of it because it was associated with a large-scale project and featured Sanjay Dutt. According to her, the version she was briefed on at the time did not raise concerns, as she relied on translations provided on set.
Fatehi stated that she was not informed about the creation of the Hindi version and that no approvals were taken from her before using her image. She also raised concerns about the use of unapproved visuals in a lyrical video and claimed that an AI-generated image featuring her and Sanjay Dutt was used without consent.
