Kannada hero and filmmaker Rishab Shetty’s name has been echoing all over the nation thanks to his recent outing ‘Kantara’. The movie achieved a pan-Indian hit status and filmy buffs were spellbound with Rishab’s acting, writing and direction. The movie is smashing a lot of records in Karnataka and winning the hearts of people in other languages too.
But it looks the film’s unit is going to end up in some legal trouble that too three weeks after its release. ‘Thaikkudam Bridge’ is a well known band and they composed ‘Navarasam’ song five years ago. People who listened to this track loved it so much and they were quick to find out similarities between the band’s song and Varaaha Roopam song which became a big hit in ‘Kantara’. The band decided to take to social media and bring it to the notice of people.
They wrote, “We would like our listeners to know that Thaikkudam Bridge is in no way or form affiliated with ‘Kantara’. The unavoidable similarities between our IP ‘Navarasam’ and ‘Varaha Roopam’ in terms of audio is therefore a blatant infringement of copyright laws. From our standpoint, the line between ‘Inspired’ and ‘Plagiarized’ is distinct and indisputable and therefore we will be seeking legal action against the creative team responsible for this. There has been no acknowledgment of our rights over the content and the song is propagared as an Original piece of work by the movie’s creative team.”
Written and directed by Rishab Shetty himself, this movie is produced by Vijay Kiragandur. Music is composed by B Ajaneesh Loknath while Aravind S Kashyap is the cinematographer. Pratheek Shetty and KM Prakash are the editors and action is composed by Vikram Mor. We need to see where this legal case goes.
