Netizens have been slamming music composer AR Rahman for collaborating with choreographer Jani Master for the upcoming film Peddi, starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. Jani Master has been accused of sexually assaulting a minor and is currently out on conditional bail. Singer Chinmayi Sripaada, a frequent collaborator with Rahman, was questioned by a user online about why she hadn’t called him out for working with Jani. Responding to the comment, Chinmayi revealed that she had, in fact, questioned him personally.

Chinmayi Sripaada says AR Rahman had no idea about Jani Master's case

Rahman was criticised for posing for photos with Jani Master during the film’s shoot. One X (formerly Twitter) user accused Chinmayi of hypocrisy, writing, “I think Akka will keep quiet because it’s Rahman. Hypocrisy is one of her attributes!” Chinmayi hit back, replying, “Oh please, shut up. I asked Sir — and he had no idea. I have called out even the CM and the biggest actors in the Tamil film industry.”
