Sai Pallavi fans upset over Rowdy Baby makers CDP

As is a norm in the South film industry, moments of importance like a star’s birthday is often marked by a CDP or common display picture, where all fans join in and keep the same image. With Rowdy Baby crossing such a milestone, the makers decide to celebrate with a CDP as well.

In the CDP, one could see Dhanush as the makers shared his look in a black suit from the song playing a graphical guitar.

While there was no sight of Sai Pallavi anywhere, the music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja received a mention on the top of the post.

Netizens expressed their surprise over Sai Pallavi’s ‘snub’ on the celebratory post. One quipped that they should ‘check their eyesight’ and one compared it to the project manager ‘solely taking credit for the whole project.’  A user was convinced that Sai Pallavi's dance was mainly responsible for the success of the song.

Some believed that even Prabhudeva, who had choreographed the song, should have also been a part of the CDP.

I should check my eyesight. I’m unable to find @Sai_Pallavi92 in this? Vera yaarkachum theriyidha?
