Official twitter handle of “Indu Makkal Katchi” which is led by Arjun Sampath claimed that actor Vijay is donning a “Jesus cross” contained chain in the recently released “Arabic Kuthu” song and said that they welcome him for openly displaying his religious identity. However, fans who corrected the post saying that it is not a “Jesus cross” but an “Anchor” symbol, trolled the party for always searching for aspects that support their religious ideologies.
The most awaited “Arabic Kuthu”, first single of Vijay’s upcoming film “Beast” released sharply at 6 PM on Valentines day and is breaking records of all the previously released lyric videos in youtube. Fans of actor Vijay are going gaga over the 4 minute 43 seconds song which was sung by Anirudh Ravichander and Jonita Gandhi. The video song featured Vijay and Pooja Hegde shaking their legs together for the fast number with lyrics popping up simultaneously. The song also garnered 25 million views in less than 24 hours and is currently trending at no.1 in youtube with 40 million views.
Written by Sivakarthikeyan, the hook line of the song is Malama Pitha Pithadhe” and it’s hard to tell what it means. It is not sure whether it has any base in Arabic language as well. To the surprise of fans, the lyrical video also has a glimpse of Vijay and Pooja Hegde performing the signature step of “Arabic Kuthu”. Glimpses of set making and choreography were also provided for the fans in the lyric video.
Among the many who reacted to the song, the official twitter handle of “Indu Makkal Kattchi” came up with a tweet claiming that Vijay is wearing a chain that contains jesus cross in it. “Joseph Vijay wearing Cross is a welcome sign, he is unapologetically and boldly displaying his religious identity – what’s wrong in it. IMK welcomes this, every one has freedom of religion in India. Unnecessary propaganda must be avoided. We have to choose our battles wisely” caption of their post read.
We have to choose our battles wisely.
