Faced with scathing criticism, the lyrics of “Allah Meherbaan,” item song in the film “Boss 2: Back to Rule”, has been changed and re-released.
Jazz Multimedia arranged a press conference and an iftar party at Dhaka Club where film actors Jeet and Nusraat Faria were present on Tuesday.
Abdul Aziz, the film’s producer, told the Bangla Tribune: “We do not want to talk much about this song now. You will get all answers after re-release of the song.”

The word that was responsible for sparking the controversy, “Allah,” has been changed to “Yaara”. The newly released song titles “Yaara Meherbaan.”
Earlier on May 28, two legal notices were sent against Jazz Multimedia within several hours of its release of “Allah Meherbaan,” decrying its assault on the spirit of Islam.Both notices claimed that the song abused the name of Allah in a vulgar and despicable manner.
Later on May 30, Jazz Multimedia removed the video from their official YouTube page. But the same video uploaded by the Kolkata distributor Grassroots Entertainment remains on YouTube.
The film’s lead actors Jeet and Nusraat Faria will be promoting the film ahead of Eid.
