Controversy

The track "Hey Who Are You", which had the music allegedly similar to the track, [7] "Madhyarathrili" of the 1991 Kannada film Shanti Kranti , had to be deleted from the film, after Lahari Music had the release of the film stayed after it approached the court accusing the makers of violation of copyrights that it held. [8] [9] Eventually court gave permissions to feature the song in the movie as it was stated to be inspired but not allegedly made to be similar. The matter has been amicably resolved after the producer Vijay Kirgandur got the trio Lahari Velu, director of Lahari Music, Rakshith Shetty and Ajaneesh Lokanath to share their perspectives. [10]
