The first song from the film Naa Ready was shared by the filmmakers on June 22. However, soon after its release the song came under the social media scanner. While fans showed excitement for the song, a complaint was registered against the makers for not putting appropriate disclaimers in the scene when the actor was seen smoking or drinking. The complainant accused the makers of promoting 'drug usage' and 'violence' through the song. Soon, the makers took note of this and added the appropriate disclaimer.
