AICWA Demands Ban On Nora Fatehi’s ‘Sarke Chunar’ From KD: The Devil, Seeks FIR Against Producers

The controversy surrounding the song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, has escalated significantly after the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) formally demanded a ban on the track and called for legal action against its makers.

In an official post on X, the AICWA released a strongly worded statement along with a video condemning the song’s lyrics. The association confirmed it has written to Prasoon Joshi, Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), raising formal objections against the track from the upcoming Kannada pan-India film KD: The Devil.

AICWA Raises Objections, Writes to CBFC and Ministry

The AICWA stated that “vulgar and double-meaning content is unacceptable in Indian cinema and has a negative impact on society, especially youth.” The association simultaneously appealed to Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, urging the introduction of stricter guidelines to address the rising trend of obscene content in Indian films.

The association’s formal demands include an immediate ban on the song across all platforms, a re-examination of the film by the CBFC, an FIR against the producers and creators, and an investigation into what it described as a deliberate attempt to stir controversy for publicity purposes. The AICWA’s statement concluded with the assertion that “freedom of expression cannot be misused to promote vulgarity and degrade Indian cultural values.”

About the Song and the Film

Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke is part of KD: The Devil, a pan-India Kannada film directed by Prems. The song’s opening verse contains a double entendre with graphic sexual references. The track was made available across multiple languages Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada through Anand Audio, the film’s official music partner. As of Wednesday, the Hindi version of the song has been removed from YouTube.

Earlier Backlash and Legal Action

The AICWA’s move is not the first wave of pushback against the song. Filmmaker Onir, singer Armaan Malik, and politician-actor Kangana Ranaut had previously voiced objections to the track’s lyrics. According to ANI, an advocate had already approached the CBFC seeking an immediate ban and removal of the song, alleging that its lyrics and visuals are obscene and potentially harmful to minors. A separate criminal complaint has also been filed with the Delhi Police Cyber Cell in connection with the song.
