Because of the intense backlash, the makers of ‘KD: The Devil’ reportedly removed the song from public view on YouTube. The video was shifted to private mode. Later, when users tried to access it, they saw an “unavailable” message instead of the video.
As the debate grew, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) stepped forward with an official clarification. The board stated that it had not received any application to certify the song from ‘KD: The Devil’.
The CBFC made it clear that the song was never submitted for certification. According to the board, there is often confusion about content released on digital platforms. It emphasised that online content does not automatically come under its review process.
The Chairperson of the CBFC explained that material released directly on digital platforms does not require certification unless it is formally submitted for theatrical release. The board said it should not be held responsible for content that was never sent for examination.
The statement also mentioned that the organisation is committed to responsible evaluation of cinema, including the portrayal of women in films. At the same time, it highlighted that the board is frequently drawn into debates that fall outside its jurisdiction.
To avoid misunderstanding, the CBFC clarified that concerns related to the song should be directed to the creators and the respective digital platform, not the certification body.
The song features Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, which added more attention to the release. Their presence made the track even more visible in entertainment circles. However, the controversy soon shifted focus from stars to content itself.
The music for the song was composed by Arjun Janya. While the team had planned a strong digital launch, the unexpected backlash changed the situation completely.
The controversy did not remain limited to online comments. Several organisations and public personalities also reacted to the issue. All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) expressed concern about the song’s presentation.
Well-known names such as Kangana Ranaut and Armaan Malik also voiced their opinions.
