Kannada director Prem recently faced massive backlash over the song Sarse Ninna Sarega Sarse (Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke in Hindi) from his upcoming film KD: The Devil. The number starring Sanjay Dutt and Nora Fatehi attracted trouble over its suggestive and 'vulgar' lyrics in Hindi, penned by the filmmaker. Now, ahead of the film's release, Kichcha Sudeep came to director Prem’s defence.
