What started off as a sweet school romance in reel life has quickly become the centre of a morality storm.

Earlier this week a sequence from the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi showing Priya Prakash Varrier winking at her classmate Roshan Abdul Rahoof went viral on social media.

But that's when things went wrong with finger-wagging moralistic maulanas jumping into the fray.

Mumbai-based Islamic seminary Raza Academy has objected to the song. The academy feels that the song insults Prophet Muhammad and his wife Khadija.

Raza Academy has written a letter to Prasoon Joshi, chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asking him to block the film clip.

In the same letter they said that a First Information Report (FIR) has already been filed against the film in Hyderabad. Because the legal process is slow in India and action against the film/filmmaker would take time, the organisation asked the censor board to step in and ban the video clip.

"We have objections over few words of this song. The sentiments of our community have been hurt. That is why we have written to the CBFC chief. If the censor board fails to do so, we will consult our lawyer," said Kari Abdul Rehman Jiai of Raza Academy.

Recently a group of Muslim youth from Hyderabad filed a complaint at the Falaknuma Police Station against the makers of the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi from the film Oru Adaar Love.

The complainants said the song hurt Muslim religious sentiments. However, the complaint has nothing against the actress Priya Prakash Varrier.
