‘KD: The Devil’ makers set to re-release ‘sanitized’ version of ‘Sarse Ninna Seraga Sarse’

By releasing a modified version, director Prem and producer KVN Productions hope to move past "vulgarity" row and refocus on the film’s high-octane pan-India appeal.

After a wave of national backlash, the creators of KD: The Devil are set to launch a ‘sanitized’ version of 'Sarse Ninna Seraga Sarse' soon. The move comes after a heated controversy where the original track was slammed for its obscene lyrics. The song was also forced to be taken down from YouTube after being criticized for its lewd lyrics.

The decision to re-release comes after legal notices were served to the makers, forcing them to revise the "double-meaning" lines that are more suitable for a family audience.

Earlier, the original version featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt faced backlash nationwide on its release. Celebrities like Kangana Ranaut, Armaan Malik and Harbhajan Singh, as well as the NHRC, raised objection for its subjective lyrics and metaphors.

By releasing a modified version, director Prem and producer KVN Productions hope to move past the "vulgarity" row and refocus on the film’s high-octane pan-India appeal.
