Arijit Singh’s Kolkata concert cancelled in row over ‘Gerua’ song?

Arijit Singh’s concert in Kolkata has been cancelled in an alleged row over the lyrics of the song ‘Gerua’ from ‘Dilwale’ (2015).

After the storm created by ‘Besharam Rang’ from the upcoming ‘Pathaan’, the song ‘Gerua’ has been embroiled in controversy for the references to saffron. It had the following lyrics “Rang de tu mohey gerua”, translating to “Colour me saffron”.

Singh had sung lines from the song at the Kolkata International Film Festival and dedicated it to Khan. The row has led to a war of words between the Trinamool Congress and BJP.
