Music composer Ilayaraaja asks for Rs 5 crore as compensation amid sending legal notice to Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly makers

Recently, Ilaiyaraaja has been in the news following his decision to send a legal notice to the producers of Ajith Kumar’s film titled Good Bad Ugly. As per reports from Sreedhar Pillai, the renowned musician is seeking a monetary compensation amounting to 50 crore rupees.

According to the report, the movie incorporated tunes such as “Otha Roopa Tharen,” “Ilamai Idho Idho,” and “En Jodi Manja Kuruvi,” which were early compositions by Ilaiyaraaja. Not only does he demand payment, but the musician has also requested that these songs be taken out of the film and a formal apology be issued.

If you haven’t heard yet, the tune “Otha Roopa” is actually from the movie Nattupura Pattu that came out in 1995. The song “Ilamai Idho Idho” can be found in the film Sakalakala Vallavan, which stars Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, and “En Jodi Manja Kuruvi” is from Haasan’s movie Vikram (1986).

Currently, there’s no official response from the creators of Good Bad Ugly; we’ll find out their decision at a later point.

Watching the film titled “Good Bad Ugly” offers an entertaining blend of action and comedy, starring Ajith Kumar as the main character. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, this movie tells the story of AK, also known as Red Dragon, a former crime boss who voluntarily handed himself over to make amends for his past wrongdoings.

Initially free, the man learns that his boy has been falsely accused of drug crimes and homicide. Consequently, AK finds himself compelled to revert to his past actions in an attempt to save his son and uncover the truth before the situation spirals further out of control.

In the starring position is AK, while a diverse array of talented performers including Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Sunil, Karthikeya Dev, Priya Prakash Varrier, Prabhu, Prasanna, among others, take on significant roles in this movie.

Initially facing a mix of positive and negative criticisms upon its debut, the movie eventually raked in substantial earnings at the box office, ultimately achieving immense popularity.

Regarding Ajith Kumar’s professional sphere, he recently starred as the main character in the movie “Vidaamuyarchi”. As for his upcoming ventures, Ajith has yet to make an official announcement. However, there are rumors that he might be teaming up with director Adhik once more.
