'RRR' Music Director MM Keeravani's Gives Lewd Response To Resul Pookutty For His 'Gay Love Story' Comment

In response to a tweet on Resul Pookutty, Keeravani referred to him as "P*OKUtty."

New Delhi: Oscar-winning sound engineer Resul Pookutty, who is under fire for labelling the recent pan-India blockbuster 'RRR' a "Gay Love Story" on Twitter, has received a vulgar slap from MM Keeravani, the music composer of films 'Baahubali' and 'RRR'.

In response to a tweet on Resul Pookutty, Keeravani referred to him as "P*OKUtty." In his reply to 'Baahubali' producer Shobu's tweet, Keeravani wrote, "Maybe I am bad at using uppercase and lowercase letters, while typing letters but I respect every person's freedom of expression, including of Resul Pookutty".

Though the statement has nothing wrong, those who are familiar with Telugu swear words would be able to connect the dots, as the word highlighted in the end, is a form of a lewd comment on Resul Pookutty.

This obscene slap by Keeravani has gone viral on social media. However, the veteran musician is not receiving much criticism because many people believe Resul deserves to be castigated for his unnecessary sly remark on 'RRR'.

A controversy erupted on Monday after the sound engineer, Resul Pookutty, while responding to a person dismissing the film as garbage on Twitter, called the film, "a gay love story". Pookutty went on to say that Alia Bhatt had been used as a prop in the film.

The statements triggered outrage with several Twitter users coming down heavily on the sound engineer for these statements.

One user tweeted: "Resul Pookutty you've lost respect today for demeaning 'RRR'." Responding to this tweet, Pookutty tweeted: "That's what they called it in the west, I merely quoted it"

With his remark on 'RRR', Resul certainly generated massive outrage, and this is currently a big issue on social media.
