Meanwhile, two men from Hyderabad have filed a petition in court alleging that the wink by Priya Varrier in the film hurts the sentiments of the Muslim community and urged its removal from the film. According to sources, the petition reads: “The 30-second clip shows a schoolgirl and schoolboy exchanging smiles, eyebrows wiggles and winks from across the way…Winking itself is forbidden in Islam and in a case where the act of winking is superimposed with a sacred song, written in the praise of Prophet Mohammed and his first wife…the same act becomes an act of blasphemy (sic).” (Content provided by Digital Native)...

ControversyThe applicants together have moved the intervention petition with the Sc arguing that "the act of winking is forbidden in Islam". Tnm StaffTwo Hyderabad residents, Muqeet Khan and Zaheer Uddin Khan, have moved an intervention application in the Supreme Court, seeking the court's consent in allowing them to intervene in an earlier writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution against Priya Varrier and her wink. The intervention application states that Muqeet Kahan (first applicant), a student in his 20s, was the one who registered the Fir with the Falaknuma Police against Omar on February 14 and that Zaheer Uddin Khan (second applicant) is “a person deeply engaged in preserving rich Muslim culture and values.” The applicants together have moved the intervention petition with the Sc arguing that "the act of winking is forbidden in Islam" and that when that act if superimposed with a sacred song, it amounts to blasphemy. Further, they’ve also added that the Hindu groups were also negatively affected due to “objectionable picturization of the song”. The petition also cites the complaint filed at Jinsi police station in Maharashtra by a group of people under the aegis of Janjagran Samithi. In her February 19 petition to the apex court, Priya Varrier, along with Omar Lulu and others, sought an ex-parte stay on the Fir registered against them and also sought appropriate orders restraining other states from registering FIRs against them. This was in response to the case registered by Falaknuma police, based on a complaint by Muqeet, against the director under section 295 A (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings) on February 14. Following this, on February 18, the Hyderabad police sent a notice to Malayalam film director Omar Lulu, seeking an explanation following complaints. The police had asked the director to give an explanation about the song within 15 days. Ever since the song, ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’, from Omar Lulu’s upcoming Oru Adaar Love became a smashing hit, it has managed to create news. Although the song's visuals have several young actors in it, it was Priya Varrier who managed to grab everyone’s attention with her expressions. Her wink, in particular, won several hearts immediately. The young actor was soon dubbed the ‘wink girl’ and became an internet’s favourite. Several Muslim groups across the country expressed strong objection to the song as the lyrics talks about the love story between Prophet Mohammed and his wife Khadija Bivi. However what most of these groups seem to be unaware about was the fact that the song was part of popular folk song tradition in Kerala.

KollywoodThe yet-to-be-titled flick will be helmed by Kv Anand, who directed Suriya in two earlier films, ‘Ayan’ and ‘Maattraan’.Digital NativeDigital NativeReports emerged that Priya Prakash Varrier, who shot to limelight for her wink in a song from the Malayalam movie Oru Adaar Love, has been roped in to romance Suriya in his upcoming film with director Kv Anand. However, the director doused the rumours when he announced the core team of the film. Kv Anand is currently busy with the groundwork to get this project on the floors and will be selecting the rest of the star cast later on. Therefore, it is too early to speculate on the female lead, say sources. Harris Jayaraj, a Kv Anand regular, will be composing the tunes for this yet-to-be-titled flick while Gavemic U Ary will be wielding the camera. Core team for my next film with @Suriya_offl : Produced By @LycaProductions @Jharrisjayaraj #PattukottaiPrabhakar - Dop #GavmicAry - Art @KiranDrk — anand k v (@anavenkat) March 13, 2018 It may be mentioned here that Kv Anand has directed Suriya in two films earlier – Ayan and Maattraan – and this is their third venture together. While in Ayan, Suriya was paired with Tammannah Bhatia, in Maatraan he shared screen space with Kajal Aggarwal. Therefore, it would be interesting to see who is paired with the star this time around. Meanwhile, Suriya is busy with his upcoming film Ngk, which is being directed by Selvaraghavan. The shooting for this film commenced early this year and is progressing at a brisk pace. The first look of this movie was released recently and Suriya’s get-up in it fetched positive reviews. Suriya’s look, sporting a beard, cap and shades resembling the revolutionary leader Che Guevara, points to the kind of theme the film revolves around. In this film, Suriya is sharing screen space with Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music composer for Ngk while Sivakumar Vijayan is the cinematographer. This gangster drama is bankrolled by Sr Prakashbabu and Sr Prabhu under their banner Dream Warrior Pictures. Reports say that Ngk is being planned as a Deepavali release this year and is likely to clash with Vijay 62, which is being directed by Ar Murugadoss. (Content provided by Digital Native)...

A group of Muslim men has filed a complaint at Falaknuma Police Station in Hyderabad against viral sensation Priya Varrier and the makers of the song 'Manikya Malaraya Poovi' from 'Oru Adaar Love' for allegedly hurting sentiments of their community. They apparently have a problem with the lyrics of the song which have hurt their religious sentiments. The song has a Prophet reference (of course, not in an offensive way) which the group has a problem with.

MollywoodTNM spoke to Priya's family, actor Roshan and composer Jubair who appear in the viral video for their views on the unexpected fame. Sowmya RajendranPriya Prakash Varrier has become an overnight celebrity. The 18-year-old, a first year B.Com student at Vimala college in Thrissur, featured in a Malayalam song Manikya Malaraya Poovi from the film Oru Adaar Love. A clip from the song has since gone viral online and has made her an Internet sensation not just in India but in countries as far as Egypt and neighbouring Pakistan, where fans have been posting comments about her expressive face. When Tnm contacted her family, it was her mother Preetha who answered the phone. "Priya has gone to the hostel," she says, preparing to hang up. But when asked why, Preetha opened up, saying that the instant fame has left them stymied. "The director has told us strictly not to give any interviews," she says. "He has said she's to give interviews only after the film releases. The film has just started and they've shot only a little bit. I've sent her to the hostel because of all this noise." "We never expected this to happen," Preetha adds. "We never thought much about it. She had a desire and so we took her to an audition. She'd gone for another audition last year called by the same team, when she was a Class Xii student and they'd selected her for that film as well - but the shooting was during the board exams. So she couldn't go for it. They'd said then itself that she should come the next time there's a casting call." Priya's Instagram account gained a whopping 1.3 million followers in a single day, a feat that more accomplished and established actors are yet to reach. She now has over 2 million followers on Instagram, with numbers only rising. Asked about Priya's photographs that have flooded the Internet, Preetha says, "She had done modeling once. She did a ramp show. She's not the one who put all those pics on Instagram. They are all fake accounts. These pictures have been put up by photographers who had these images. We'd not taken these images from them. The ones she's put up are likely to be selfies with friends." Reacting to the craze that Priya has become overnight, Preetha says, "It is very difficult. But what can we do? We can't make anyone hate us by objecting. It will be seen differently." If Priya is a hit among the men, it is 18-year-old Roshan Abdul Rahoof, the young man who's seen flirting with the actor in the video, who has caught the eye of women. Roshan was one of the finalists in the D4 Dance show on Mazhavil Manorama. Thank you for all the love and support A post shared by priya prakash varrier (@priya.p.varrier) on Feb 9, 2018 at 7:53am Pst Roshan is bemused by all the attention and says he never expected in his wildest dreams for the song to become such a hit. Like Priya, Roshan too is a first year college student (Ica) in Thrissur. "This is my first film. I never expected this. There are five heroes and five heroines in the film. Priya and I are one of the pairs," he says. Speaking about his family's reaction, he says, "They are all very excited and happy." As of now, Roshan has not received any other film offers but he's hopeful that the viral song may change that. 24-year-old Jubair Muhammed, who is seen as the lead musician in the song, is a composer and singer in real life. He shares a good friendship with director Omar Lulu, from the time of the latter's film Happy Wedding. He also did a promo song for Omar's next film, Chunkzz. "It is Priya's mom who looks after all her schedules. Priya is a girl with no airs. She is in a situation when she doesn't know what to do. Overnight, everything has changed. She is even a bit scared to step out of the house. Within one night, her face has been splashed everywhere and people are recognising her. That's not something anyone's prepared for. She's a very social, friendly person but she doesn't know how to react to this," he says. Jubair says that Priya was not cast initially in a lead role. However, seeing her performance, director Omar Lulu decided to change the script and give her a bigger role. "Shaan Rahman is the composer of the film. My friends have a band called Chumaduthangi. I used to sing as a guest singer for them whenever they did big programmes," says Jubair. It was at one of these shows that they sang an old moppla song, Manikya Malaraya Poovi. When Jubair shared the video on Facebook, Omar Lulu liked it enough to ask Jubair and the band to sing the song at a relative's wedding. The filmmaker then decided to include the song in Oru Adaar Love. The rights of the song were bought and Shaan Rahman re-composed the song. It is the Chumaduthangi band and Jubair we see onstage in the viral song. "Others in the song are Mathews, the producer's son, Siyadh Shajahan, who is a bit hit for his Dubsmash videos. Vishakh came as a junior artist but he got a bigger role because of his performance. Dilrooba is another person in the video," he says. While the young team is still grappling with the sudden fame, they are hopeful that Oru Adaar Love will open new doors for them in future. Watch:...
