Initially, Nora Fatehi issued a clarification stating that an objectionable Hindi version of the song was produced without her consent.

However, the controversy escalated when a fatwa was issued by a senior cleric associated with a Dar- ul- Ifta in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

 The cleric declared the song’s content “haram,” terming it a serious violation of Islamic teachings, and called for action against such material.

On the other hand, authorities also took notice of the matter. India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting reportedly confirmed that the controversial song has been banned.

MUMBAI: Bollywood actress and dancer Nora Fatehi has strongly responded to critics who targeted her after she shared a message calling for global peace and unity.

The 34-year-old Canadian-born star recently took to Instagram to condemn reported joint US and Israeli strikes on Iran, while urging peace and solidarity across the world. However, some social media users criticized her, accusing her of selectively supporting Muslims.

In a new video posted on Instagram, Nora addressed the backlash directly. She said many people have “lost the ability to listen and understand,” adding that critical thinking is something everyone is taught in school.

Clarifying her stance, she emphasized that her message of peace and unity is for every human being, regardless of nationality or religion. “If a call for peace triggers you, then you need self-reflection,” she said, adding that speaking against chaos does not make someone an enemy.

Expressing her emotions during the holy month of fasting, the actress said it is alarming that people become upset when someone talks about peace. She described this trend as deeply troubling.

In the caption of her video, Nora reiterated that she stands by her words and suggested that anyone angered by calls for global peace and unity should consider seeking help.

Previously, she had also expressed concern over the situation in the Middle East, stating that the continuous stream of tragic news and visuals had been emotionally overwhelming.

Chennai: Indian actress and dancer Nora Fatehi has described her special dance performance in superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Jailer 2 as a “memorable and spectacular experience.”

Reports indicate that Nora has completed shooting her item number for the film, which was filmed in Chennai.

A video circulating on social media shows Nora leaving the set after completing the shoot. While she did not mention the film’s name in the clip, she referred to the project as “truly epic.”

Speaking about the shoot, Nora said it was the last day of filming, everything went exceptionally well, and she performed something very special, though early morning calls at 4 a.m. left her exhausted.

This marks Nora Fatehi’s first collaboration with Rajinikanth. Interestingly, the song Kavala performed by Tamanna Bhatia in Jailer (2023) gained massive popularity, raising expectations for the sequel’s special dance numbers.

Nora Fatehi is also set to make her debut as a lead actress in the Tamil film industry with Raghava Lawrence’s horror-comedy Kanchana 4, in which she will star alongside Pooja Hegde.

Jailer 2 is an action-comedy directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, featuring Rajinikanth in the lead role. The film is expected to include prominent actors such as Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Vijay Sethupathi, Vidya Balan, and Mithun Chakraborty, and is scheduled for release in August 2026.
