New Delhi: Actress Urvashi Rautela, who starred alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna in 'Daaku Maharaj', has sparked a social media frenzy following her performance in the viral 'Dabidi Dibidi' song. The dance sequence, already controversial for its choreography, drew more criticism when a video from a success party showed Urvashi looking uncomfortable while performing the song's hook steps.
The video was shared by Urvashi to celebrate the film's opening day numbers, which saw an impressive Rs 56 crore in earnings.
The now-viral video shows Balakrishna and Urvashi recreating the popular hook step of 'Dabidi Dibidi', where the actress appears nervous. People seized on the awkward moment and took to social media to call out the actor.
Netizens Slam Balakrishna's Behaviour
Many viewers have called Balakrishna a "tharki" (pervert).
Someone slammed, "Don't act like this, sir, your daughter is like @urvashirautela." After that, a lot of people started bringing out how uncomfortable Urvashi Rautela looked in the video. "Urvashi looks so uncomfortable, it's written all over her face," said one commenter.
Once again, the inappropriateness of the dance was criticised, as it had been at the first release of the song. There was a lot of controversy over the viral step when Balakrishna touched Urvashi's belly button and tugged her dress. Viewers thought the gestures were "uncomfortable" and "inappropriate".
A Reddit user also criticised, saying, "How is this even allowed, why is no one saying anything? This does not look good on us as a society as a whole."
Meanwhile, ‘Daaku Maharaaj’, produced by Naga Vamsi under the brand of Sitara Entertainments and directed by Bobby Kolli, hit cinemas on January 12.
