Duvvada Jagannadham is Pooja Hegde's third Telugu film. The actress debuted in Bollywood in 2016 with Hrithik Roshan's
Mohenjo Daro. Pooja shared the trailer on Twitter and wrote, "My next Telugu film #DJ..Here's a glimpse of it...tick tock. Enjoy."
Meanwhile,
Times Of India reports that the film has allegedly hurt the sentiments of the Brahmin community. The protesters allege that the community has been portrayed in a negative light in the song
Gudilo Badilo. "These days, filmmakers are showing the Brahmin community in a very negative and poor light. In
DJ, they have taken the words from Lord Shiva's recital 'Namakam Chamakam', and made a pun on it. We will not tolerate this,"
TOI quoted Dronamraju Srinivasa Rao, President of the All India Brahmin Federation as saying. Later, director Harish Shankar met the protesters and reportedly agreed to remove those lines from the song.
Duvvada Jagannadham, produced by Dil Raju, is scheduled to release on June 23.
