On hearing this, Vishwatma’s director, Rajiv Rai’s anger reached sky high. What is the whole matter? What happened was that Rajiv Rai was called by his friends and well wishers and told that, “Brother, the tune of the song of your film is being played in some other song.” When Rajiv himself heard it, he was shocked. He is not angry with the fact that the song was used, he is angry with the fact that “let alone asking him, no one even thought it necessary to tell him.” Expressing his displeasure in clear words, Rajeev Rai said, “I do not interfere in the matter of music rights, the music company can do whatever they want. But ethically, at least one call should have been made.” “This is the hard work of Viju Shah…” Rajeev Rai reminded that this song Not just a song, but a history. He told how much hard work composer Viju Shah had put in to create this tune. He said, “At that time, we worked day and night to create the tune which is still on people’s lips. Now someone else comes, picks it up and puts it in his song, it is very sad to see this.” Copy in the name of Remix? This is not the first time in Bollywood that an old classic has been presented in a new style without giving credit. Rajiv Rai says that he does not want to get into any legal trouble, but he cannot remain silent either. He said, “We do not want money, nor are we hungry for credit, but at least respect the creator who made it.” Fans’ reaction: Fans are also seen standing with Rajeev Rai on social media. Divya Bharti’s fans say that any tampering with this song is like playing with the memories of the legendary actress.
