Urvashi Rautela Reacts to ‘Dabidi Dibidi’ Song Controversy
Before the release of Daaku Maharaj, the song “Dabidi Dibidi” became a hot topic of discussion on social media. A particular dance move, where Nandamuri Balakrishna taps Urvashi Rautela on her lower back, sparked heated debates. Many netizens criticized the step, calling it inappropriate, which led to widespread trolling and discussions about dance choreography in Telugu cinema.
Social Media Backlash
The moment the song premiered, Twitter and Instagram were flooded with memes and criticism. Both Balakrishna and choreographer Sekhar Master were targeted by trolls for the dance sequence. Many users questioned why such choreography was included in the song, while others defended it, stating that cinema should be viewed in a creative context.
Adding to the controversy, Urvashi Rautela shared some of the viral troll posts on her Instagram stories. This unexpected move left fans wondering if she was acknowledging the criticism or simply engaging with trending discussions.
Urvashi Rautela Breaks Her Silence
Amidst the growing speculation, Urvashi Rautela finally addressed the issue in a recent interview. She made it clear that she didn’t find anything inappropriate about the steps during rehearsals or while filming.
“We practiced the choreography well in advance, and everything went smoothly. I have worked with Sekhar Master on three songs before, and when he explained the steps, I didn’t feel uncomfortable. The moves seemed like regular dance steps. After the release, I was surprised by the reactions on social media. I didn’t even get time to analyze why people were upset. Interestingly, when we released clips earlier, no one raised any concerns.”
Her statement suggests that the controversy took the film’s team by surprise. She also emphasized that dance sequences are a collaborative effort and that no part of the choreography felt awkward at the time of shooting.
The Choreography Debate
While Urvashi’s response clarifies her stance, debates continue online. The Dabidi Dibidi controversy has once again raised questions about sensational dance moves in commercial cinema. Some argue that filmmakers should be more mindful of such sequences to avoid backlash, while others believe that social media outrage often blows things out of proportion.
Film analysts believe that dance choreography in Telugu films has evolved significantly, but occasional misinterpretations lead to unnecessary controversies. While some songs gain attention purely for their music and visuals, others face scrutiny over creative choices.
Unexpected Publicity for ‘Daaku Maharaj’
Despite the backlash, Dabidi Dibidi has gained significant attention, making it one of the most talked-about songs from Daaku Maharaj. This unexpected publicity might even work in favor of the film, as controversies often bring more visibility.
With the film’s release around the corner, it remains to be seen whether the criticism will impact its box office performance or if audiences will embrace it with an open mind.
Final Thoughts
Cinema often walks a fine line between creativity and audience perception. The Dabidi Dibidi controversy highlights how quickly social media can amplify discussions about movies. While Urvashi Rautela has made her stance clear, the debate around dance choreography and creative freedom in Telugu films is likely to continue.
As fans eagerly await the release of Daaku Maharaj, it will be interesting to see how the film performs amid all the buzz.
