The petition names Honey Singh, lyricist Leo Grewal, and Bhojpuri singers Ragini Vishwakarma and Arjun Ajanabi as respondents.
Neetu Chandra, who hails from Patna and has worked in Bollywood as well as Bhojpuri and Maithili cinema, has requested the court to direct the modification of the song’s lyrics.
She argues that the song objectifies women and contains overt sexualisation, misrepresenting Bhojpuri culture.
