In view of objections raised by a section of Muslims over Himesh Reshammiya's latest song 'Ya Ali' from his yet to be released film Aap Ka Suroor, the singer has agreed to
change wordings of the song.
In a text message sent to Zaheer Zaidi, leader of Shia community, Reshammiya wrote, "We will change the word 'Ya Ali' from the song", and also assured that the promos
of the song would be taken off air soon.
"You will have to bear for two to three days more as removal procedure (of song) from all channels take that much time," he wrote in the message.
Earlier, Shia community had raised objections over the song complaining that the reference of the word 'Ya Ali' has hurt the sentiments of the community, and had
demanding deletion of the word from the song, since Hazarat Ali is their community's revered Imam and also son-in law of Prophet Muhammad.
The movie Aap Ka Suroor will see the singer debuting as a hero and stars Mallika Sherawat.
