Recent movies have seen a deluge of remixed versions of popular songs -- be it very old, or the 90s songs. Some hate it, while a few are of the opinion that the younger generation get acquainted with the old songs in a better way.
Music composer and singer Vishal Dadlani belongs to the first category. He has warned filmmakers and musicians against remixing songs he has composed with partner and friend Shekhar Ravjiani.
In a tweet that Vishal put out, the music composer looked quite miffed up with the latest trend of rehashing and reusing hit tracks.
"Warning: I WILL sue anyone making remixes of Vishal & Shekhar songs. I'll even move court against the films & musicians. After Saaki Saaki, I hear upcoming bastardisations include Dus Bahaane, Deedaar De, Sajnaji Vaari Vaari, Desi Girl & more. Make your own songs, vultures!" he tweeted.
Vishal also shared his tweet's screenshot on his Instagram, adding, "Warning. Do NOT remix Vishal and Shekhar songs without our permission, due credit & remuneration. I will come for you hard, legally. Especially the musicians doing it. This will become very, very personal, even if you are a friend."
Vishal-Shekhar's super hit track 'Saaki Saaki' from Sanjay Dutt's Musafir was recently recreated for John Abraham's Batla House. The original song has been remixed by music composer Tanishk Bagchi. This trend is currently catching up with almost every film.
‘Tum Par Hum Hain Atke’ from Salman Khan- and Kajol- starrer Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya Hai has been rehashed and picturised on John Abraham and Ileana D’cruz in their upcoming film Pagalpanti.
This trend has been also been surrounded by controversies as the original singers and composers have often expressed their displeasure. In a recent incident, musician Dr Zeus slammed makers of Ayushmann Khurana's Bala for plagiarism.
Dr Zeus' composition 'Kangana' has been recreated for the movie.
