SC stayed Criminal action against actress Priya and director

New Delhi, Feb 22: As the Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed criminal action by Telangana and Maharashtra authorities against Priya Prakash Varrier and restrained other states from taking action based on song "Manikya Malaraya Poovi...", the Malyalam actress and film director Omar Lulu expressed happiness.

Staying the criminal action on an FIR and complaints in both the states, a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said that action could not be initiated in other states as well.

Priya's lawyer Harris Beeran told the court that there has been no case filed against her in Kerala though. Priya shot to fame following her "wink song" from the film "Oru Adaar Love".

The stay order will cover the film producer and director Omar Lulu.
