Guru recently shared another note too

In the music video, Guru plays a photography teacher who goes to take a class photo inside a girls' school. Actor Anshika Pandey, who plays a school student, performs a dance sequence, leaving Guru's character mesmerised. The singer wrote and composed the song with additional lyrics by Gurjit Gill.

Guru's song Sirra has also faced criticism

The controversy over Azul isn't the only one that Guru is facing now. His song Sirra is also in trouble. The court of the sub-divisional judicial magistrate has directed Guru to appear either in person or through counsel for examination of the complaint filed against him.

The complaint, filed by Rajdeep Singh Mann of Samrala, objects to the lines: “We are the sons of Jatts. We got opium as our first food when we were born.” The complainant has argued that the lyrics promote drug culture and defame the Jatt community.
