Devisri reuses SD tune,
Kollywood cinema Sachin stalls??
It is not a new thing that music composers reuse their tunes in different languages. Ilayaraja reused his hit tunes in different languages.
Manisharma, in the recent past, reused his hit tunes in Tamil viz. tunes of Kushi and Annayya for Vijay's films. A case filed by Gemini Film Circuit for the use of their Shankardada tune in Tamil film Sachin came as a beamer. Tamil boxoffice is gearing up with 3 big films for this Tamil newyear (14th Apr) - Rajanikanth's
Chandramukhi, Kamal's Mumbai Express and Vijay's
kollywood cinema Sachin. Kalaipuli S. Thanu is the producer of Vijay, Bhipasha Basu starrer
Sachin. Devisri Prasad composed music for this film. Devisri Prasad used the tune of
"Naa Pere Kanchanamala" song from Shankardada MBBS. Gemini Film Circuit, the production banner of Shankardada
MBBS, filed a case saying Devisri Prasad has copied the tune, music track of the song. Gemini Film Circuit, which paid 30 Lakhs to the composer, is reportedly planning to use the tunes in their future films. The complaint also claims that producer of
Sachin, S.Thanu, committed copyright violations. Following the case, the highcourt issued restraining orders for the release of the film
Sachin. Just one day to go for the release, Sachin film faced the crisis. Sachin's producers were very concerned since the prints to US were already dispatched and the local prints are to be released anytime now. The crisis came to an end with Madras High court clearing the film to release for 14th April. The court agreed on the pact with Sachin's producer that the song will be screened only with visuals and the song will not be used. As the producers told the media, a different song will be composed and will be inserted in a weeks time. Till then only a background score will run for the visuals of the song. Apparently, the song is a
sizzler, filmed on Vijay and Bipasha Basu. Well! The film is opening up tomorrow. Thats good news for the
producers.
