The controversies surrounding Idupu Kayitham are not settling down even as the makers continue their promotions. Producer Tabitha Sukumar has responded to the discussion around ‘Mukka Sukka’.
Tabitha Sukumar explained that ‘Mukka Sukka’ is not a cultural practice of Telangana. But a way of showing respect to elders. Tabitha’s clarification comes amid criticism over how certain customs and practices are being presented in the film.
The film has faced criticism on more than one occasion, starting with its title and later over visuals in the song ‘Gadapa’. Some viewers felt that the visuals gave a wrong impression of Telangana wedding traditions. The makers have since faced questions over their portrayal of the region’s culture.
Tabitha Sukumar has now explained what the reference actually means. But whether her clarification satisfies those who criticised the film is another matter. On the other hand, Idupu Kayitham is gearing up for its theatrical release amid these repeated controversies.
