"Kantara" is the most talked about film in the South Indian film industry in recent times. The film, written and directed by Rishabh Shetty, has been taken over by all the cine-philes in all languages. The original Kannada version of the film also entered the 100 crore club at the box office. Later, Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil versions were also released. The Malayalam version, which was released a few days ago, is making waves in Kerala as well. Meanwhile, allegations of plagiarism are being raised against the song "Varaha Roopam," one of the highlights of the film. It is alleged that the song composed by Ajneesh Lokesh is a copy of Thaikkudam Bridge's song Navarasam. Thaikkudam Bridge was informed the other day that legal action would be taken in the matter. On this occasion, Thaikkudam Bridge came up with a response on the isuue. They have responded their part to Asianet News Online.
Asianet reports that Navarasam team did not inform Thaikkudam about the song. "Our Navarasam song was the inspiration for Varaha Roopam. At the end of it, they made it into Navrasam. But the song was released without telling us, asking us for a licence or giving credit. Despite many people protesting against this, we have not been given credit, not even on Kantara's official page. Ajaneesh Lokesh has not even said that our Navarasam was the inspiration. Kannada In an interview with the media, he rejected it. Despite taking so much of our content, we have not been given credit, he said otherwise. Many musicians are approaching us asking what the difference is between this and Navrasam. Everyone thought that they had released the song after we had given them the rights. When they contacted Kantara's backers, they were able to settle it. There was interest. Currently, our lawyers are talking to them. We took a lot of pains to release the song. Please give it to anyone for free. Rillalo. So credit and compensation are due to us. "Credit is our first requirement," says Thaikkudam Bridge.
Meanwhile, some people have come forward against the Thaikkudam Bridge. They say that they have not seen the band for a long time, and when they get an opportunity, they make accusations to get attention. But the band has nothing to say about such accusations. "There is nothing to say about the critical comments coming against us. Because we know our children when we see them. We have to say whether it is our child or not. Everyone has freedom of expression, "said Thaikkudam Bridge.
