The actor justified that there is no need to delete the song as it doesn't carry any such factors hurting the feelings of Hindu community. During his promotional tour in Kerala, the actor had clearly mentioned that he wouldn't delete the song as even censor board officials showed green signal to it. Perhaps with the protests demonstrated outside his office herein Chennai by the group of Hindu Makkal Katchi, the actor had no options other than surrendering to the situation.
