'Mr Bachchan' song 'Sitar': Ravi Teja faces flak from netizens for 'vulgar moves' with Bhagyashri Borse

Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse in Sitar song

 Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse’s new song Sitar from Mr Bachchan is out. The number seems to have got into some controversy. In the video, we can see Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri dancing with some background dancers. It is filmed in pure masala style. The hook step of the song has Ravi Teja keeping his hands on the butt of the actress. Now, the Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja is 56 years old while Bhagyashri is just 25. Netizens have called out the age-difference and also the dance moves. They feel it vulgar given the huge age gap between the two. 

This is Bhagyashri Borse’s debut in the Telugu industry. The music is by Micky J Meyer and the song is already trending with 1.5 million views. Fans have defended it saying that the actress has given her consent, and that this is on reel. The filmmaker Harish Shankar put up a post on X that read, “Congratulations for the discovery…. I think you should apply for Nobel Prize…And pls continue objectifying film makers…. We welcome you.” Others also said that Ravi Teja is the only actor who gives maximum chance to debutant actresses and filmmakers. He is fearless enough to work with many debut directors.

Not a one-sided affair

Why compare?

Common in the industry

We see pairings with huge age gap in the Indian film industry. It is going on since ages. Some months back, people highlighted the age difference between Sreeleela and Mahesh Babu in Guntur Karam. We have examples like Rajinikanth and Shriya Saran in the past as well. In Sikandar, we will see a 50 plus Salman Khan romance Rashmika Mandanna. Ravi Teja and Prabhas are two stars who have given definite hits post the pandemic in the South Indian film industry. The film Mr Bachchan is a remake of Raid that starred Ileana D’Cruz and Ajay Devgn. In fact, Ravi Teja and Ileana have given some big hits together. People are praising the fab chemistry of Ravi Teja and Bhagyashri Borse in Sitar song. The location is also very stunning.
