The Delhi High Court ordered music composer AR Rahman to produce the raw recording of PS-2 song ‘Veera Raja Veera’ after Indian classical singer Faiyaz Wasifuddin Dagar filed a copyright infringement suit against Rahman.
The ustad has accused ‘Ponniyin Selvan 2’ of copying a family composition. The film’s producer claim their inspiration was a traditional song. Who is right?
