Renowned music maestro Ilaiyaraaja is back in the news by issuing a legal warning against the makers of Ajith Kumar’s movie, Good Bad Ugly. He alleges unauthorized use of his songs and asks for a massive compensation of 50 million rupees, along with an apology. In response to this notice, producer Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers has decided to speak up publicly on the issue for the first time.
In conversation with Hindustan Times, he clarified that they obtained permissions from all necessary music labels for the songs featured in the movie. Since these labels own the rights, they adhered to the proper procedures and secured No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from them. In essence, everything was handled according to regulations.
As a connoisseur of all things lifestyle, I’d like to draw your attention to an intriguing development in the world of music. In a recent statement, the legendary Ilaiyaraaja highlighted that his songs Ilamai Idho Idho (from Sakalakala Vallavan), Otha Roobayum Tharen (from Nattupura Pattu), and En Jodi Manja Kuruvi (from Vikram) were utilized in Good Bad Ugly, apparently without his prior consent.
According to him, the movie creators utilized his songs without first seeking his approval or obtaining his consent. As indicated in the notice, this action constitutes a clear copyright infringement. It also infringes upon his moral rights as the original composer. He made it clear that he never granted permission for his songs to be used or modified in any manner for the movie.
Ilaiyaraaja requested a compensation of five crores from the team producing Ajith’s movie and demanded they cease using his music in the production right away. Moreover, he asked for a sincere, written apology for utilizing his compositions without prior permission.
Take down the modified versions of the songs ‘Otha Rubayum Tharen’ (from the Tamil film Nattupura Pattu), ‘Ilamai Idho Idho’ (from the Tamil film Sakalakala Vallavan) and ‘En Jodi Manja Kuruvi’ (from the Tamil film Vikram) from all websites and platforms where they are shared or played.
Nevertheless, the movie “Good Bad Ugly” is thriving at the box office, even amidst the controversy. It stars Ajith Kumar along with Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Priya Prakash Varrier, and other notable actors.
