Priyadarshi’s upcoming romantic drama Idupu Kayitham has once again become a topic of discussion on social media. The film, which initially sparked debates over its regional portrayal, is now facing criticism following the release of a newly unveiled song.
The latest song reportedly features a wedding sequence in which liquor is served directly at the venue. This portrayal has not gone down well with some social media users from Telangana, who argue that such a practice does not reflect the traditions followed at weddings in the state.
Critics believe that scenes of this nature could create an inaccurate impression of Telangana’s culture and customs. The song has consequently triggered fresh discussions online, bringing the film back into the spotlight.
However, since Idupu Kayitham has not yet been released, it may be premature to draw conclusions about the film based on a single song. Audiences will have a better opportunity to assess its overall portrayal of regional culture once the complete movie reaches theatres.
Featuring Naga Durga as the female lead, the romantic entertainer is directed by Vamsi Reddy Dondapati. Tabitha Sukumar is presenting the film, which is produced by Bunny Vaas under the banners of Bunny Vaas Works and Sukumar Writings. Suresh Bobbili is composing the music.
The makers have scheduled the film’s theatrical release for December 11, 2026.
With the latest song generating debate, it remains to be seen how the team responds to the criticism and whether the controversy will influence the film’s reception upon release.
