Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya is one unhappy man nowadays because he claims that the track 'Do You Know' from Housefull 2 is a (partial) lift of his earlier hit single 'Mujhe Kanhaiyya Kaha Karo'. That is the reason why, he has now filed a case within the Bombay High Court against T-Series' owner Bhushan Kumar, the film's music composers Sajid-Wajid and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, accusing them of lifting portions from his song from his 2003 album 'Tere Bina'.
Talking about this issue, Abhijeet said that 'Tere Bina' was one in all T-Series' biggest albums some nine years ago. What has really upset him to no end is the truth that, while it took him a complete 10 days to compose the song, Sajid-Wajid have lifted the song's theme melody and hurriedly pasted it of their song! He also added that while Sajid-Wajid don't seem to be denying it, instead (they're) asking him to take a seat and discuss it! Within the same breath, he now wants a law to be implemented over lifting any composers' tunes. He added that if he loses this battle (w.r.t. Housefull 2), he's going to visit the top authority regardless of how much money, effort and time goes into it. He's aware that he's fighting a lone battle and that no person from the fraternity is supporting him. On the same time, he's firm that that if he wins, he'll fight for the music fraternity.
Meanwhile, Housefull 2's producer Sajid Nadiadwala said that he got the court notice on Saturday and that he was really surprised as nobody told him anything about it before. He also added that, if he had known concerning the issue before hand, he would have made Sajid-Wajid sit with Abhijeet and kind it out. But he doesn't want sit idle in this issue because he reasons that each time he's able to release a film, somebody winds up filing a case. He also raised an issue that, on the grounds that Housefull 2's music was released on February 10, why didn't Abhijeet file a case before then. With a view to clear the mess, Sajid Nadiadwala has written a letter to the Producers' Association about how this has become an ordinary thing and the way it may be avoided.
