Hyderabad-based Islamic seminary Jamia Nizamia issued a ‘fatwa’ on Thursday asking film-maker Omar Lulu to remove the video clip of the song ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’ from his movie Oru Adaar Love . The seminary’s Darul Ifta was responding to questions by Zaheer Ali Khan and others, residents of Farooq Nagar, a in the Old City.
“The film-maker should immediately remove the geet (song) from the film. The government should prevent the screening of the film till the song is removed,” the reply states. The document was signed by chief mufti of Jamia Nizamia Mufti Mohammed Azeemuddin. Speaking to The Hindu, a Jamia Nizamia office bearer said,” The sign and stamp are indeed that of Mufti Azeemuddin. The document reflects a temporary opinion.”
