Nusraat Faria, new Dhallywood sensation, has come under fire by social media users for her choice of costume in the latest music video, 'Allah Meherbaan'.

The video song from her upcoming movie, 'Boss 2', was released just ahead of the holy month of Ramadan.

The song starring Jeet and Nusrat Faria (singers Nakash Aziz and Jonita Gandhi) was shared on the official Facebook page of Nusraat. It is also available on YouTube.

The film, directed by Baba Yadav and co-directed by Abdul Aziz, is expected to be released ahead of this Eid.

Some 42,000 Facebook users liked the post on Facebook while 160 people shared the post till filing of the report around 5:05pm on Saturday.

Nusraat Faria told Prothom Alo artistes have to do things on screen for the sake of the storyline.

"I have to present myself in this way because the story of the film demanded it. My director also asked me to do that," said Nusraat.

Regarding the social media firestorm, the actress said, "I know a lot of people are swearing at me on Facebook but they need to know that making a film is a team work. An artiste cannot choose to wear whatever they want."

"The director presented the artiste in this way to get the story rolling. Audiences cannot comprehend the reason without watching the film," she added.

Referring to other Bollywood songs, she said, "People appreciated Katrina Kaif's moves on Bollywood song 'Mashallah Mashallah', but people here don't want to love anything unique we try."

She also said this video did not hurt religious sentiments at all.

I appreciate the dance scene by Nusrat Farah and her group. It is just beautiful. It is enjoyable and is at par with many Bombay dance scenes. What is the problem for Mullahs if the dancers utter "Allah Meherban" in a chorus? Why should it become blasphemy when someone is calling Allah whatever may be the situation? The half-educated Jamaati Mullahs should not think that the Divine power and Paradise are their fathers' property. The Arabs would love to watch this movie.

Agreed, when we are eating food do we think of some thing else... The problem is with ppl who have jaundiced eyes who tend to see everything with same way.
Nice to see some thing other than bollywood , we always welcome such competition .

If she does not bail, I see machetes in her future. Though I see heavy influence of Bollywood's item song in it. Bollywood's soft power is doing its work just fine in Bangladesh.

Its a Kolkata Movie.

As i know second to lead actress and co directors are from Bangladesh.
But both the production company are registered in Kolkata, film was shot in Kolkata.
I dont see any logic of calling it as a joint venture.
