Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina have making headlines for all the wrong reasons. After a clip from India’s Got Latent went viral on the internet recently, the duo started getting massive backlash from netizens as well as celebs and politicians. Now, it seems like Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman has taken a dig at them too. On February 12, AR Rahman, Vicky Kaushal, and the team of Chhaava were seen attending the music launch event of the film in the city. The composer joked about keeping one's mouth shut, which many believed was a sly dig at Ranveer and Samay's ongoing controversy. Here's what happened!
What did AR Rahman say at the Chhaava music launch?
On Wednesday evening, Chhaava's music launch event was held at Mumbai's NMACC Auditorium. AR Rahman left everyone mesmerized as he performed and took over the stage. Eventually, Vicky joined him on stage and the duo got into a playful banter. Vicky said, "You'll have to be lazy now, but only with 3 emoji if you'll have to describe your music." In response, Rahman jokingly did the 'mouth closed' emoji gesture and added, "In the past week, we have seen what happens when the mouth opens." His comment left Vicky and the audience in splits.
