Priya Prakash Varrier Priya Prakash VarrierTrouble seems to be far from over for actor Priya Prakash Varrier’s debut movie “Oru Adaar Love.” Two Hyderabad residents have approached the Supreme Court seeking a direction to remove a song, “Manikya Malaraaya Poovi,” from the yet-unreleased Malayalam film, claiming that winking was “blasphamous” in Islam. The song, featuring Varrier winking at a classmate in the movie, went viral soon after it was released on the Internet earlier this year. However, several Muslim groups had expressed discontent over the clip, claiming it hurt Muslim sentiments. “Picturisation of the present song is a deliberate attempt to malign the image of Islam. The present song is intended to outrage the religious feelings and beliefs of the Muslim community,” they said.
