Independent artist Sargam Vaish recently grabbed headlines after he accused the makers of Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s upcoming film, The Vvan, of using a section of his song Aigiri Nandini without his permission in their recently released trailer.
Sargam Vaish threatens The Vvaan makers with legal action
On Monday, the vocalist shared a video on his official Instagram handle. In the video, he said, “I have been working on a project for three years, and one song from that has been used in the film Vvan’s trailer that was recently released, without my permission. The Vvan stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia and is directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, produced by Balaji Telefilms and TVF. They have used my song for 25 seconds without my permission.”
Vaish even threatened legal action against the makers if they did not remove the song from The Vvaan’s trailer. He added, “From 1 minute 8 seconds to 1 minute 33 seconds, the song’s name is Aigiri Nandini. They have used my master file, production, and vocals as it is. I have signed a deal with a big label, if that is affected, they will be responsible for this. Kindly remove the song from your trailer and the movie; otherwise, my legal team will take care of it.”
Ricky Kej questions Sargam
After the post went viral on social media, Grammy Award-winning music composer Ricky Kej commented on the post, asking the artist about how the makers accessed his song if it wasn’t released. He commented, “How did they get access to your master recording when you had not released it yet?(sic)” Notably, Ricky was recently named among 18 new members of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Responding to him, Sargam replied, “rickykej Sir, I’m a big fan of yours, so it genuinely means a lot that you noticed this. The song was already given to another big movie and was still unreleased. Somehow, it reached this movie through another circle and was used before the original project. That’s exactly what I’m trying to understand as well.”
Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, The Vvaan is slated to release in theatres on September 25.
