A new issue surrounding director Mohan G 's ' Draupathi 2 ' song controversy is currently being actively discussed on social media. Chinmayi , who sang the first single, ‘ Emkoney ,’ was accused of joining a casteist film. Following this, she said through a social media post that it was not known in advance that the song she sang was for 'Draupathi 2.' Chinmayi's apology, saying, "I would never have worked on a film that goes against my principles," added further to the controversy. This became the main reason that prompted Mohan G to release his video explanation.

Mohan G condemns targeting of film techniciansFollowing Chinmayi's apology, Mohan G said, "It is not appropriate to blame technicians, singers, or actors working on the film; if there is a target, it should be on creators like me," Mohan G strongly condemned in his X post. He said that the ideas in his films are all his own; therefore, targeting those working on the film is cowardly. This stance was also the focus of his video explanation.

Director questions Chinmayi’s claims of ideological conflictIn a later social media video, Mohan G says that it was Chinmayi who decided to sing the song 'Emkoney' and that he had been a long-time fan and asked Ghibran to sing it, believing that her voice would bring the song to life. He said that he expected criticism when the song was released, but that Chinmayi's apology without asking for any explanation was shocking. Specifically regarding the 'conflict of principle,' he said, "I believe in the existence of God; Chinmayi also never spoke against God." Her name is Sripada, meaning the feet of God. So what is the difference between my doctrine and her doctrine?” he asked directly.

Mohan G urges Chinmayi for clarityAccording to Mohan G, there may have been external pressure to release Chinmayi's apology; he expressed concern that the explanation could damage the business of his film. Therefore, he insisted that Chinmayi provide clarity on why she apologized and under what pressure the recording was released. With 'Draupathi 2' in its final stages of production, Mohan Ji's explanation has now become the focal point of the entire affair in the context of the song controversy.
