Plagiarism issues
Despite the critical reception of the soundtrack, Sundar was criticised for plaigiarising some of the tunes for his film.[9] In September 2014, Canadian musician Bryan Adams, whom Sundar claimed as his inspiration, sued him for copyright violation as the song "Namma Ooru Bengaluru" had a strong resemblance to his song "Summer of '69" from the 1984 album Reckless.[10] Sundar defended that he only adapted the guitar notes from that song while the melody was different. He further admitted, he used to listen to "Summer of '69" in his early days and with the admiration he had for Adams, he decided to adapt the same guitar notes for "Namma Ooru Bengaluru".[11][12]
