The latest song of Baadshaho, titled Piya More, featuring Emraan Hashmi and Sunny Leone, was launched with much fanfare on Tuesday. Now, the number has landed director Milan Luthria, music company T-Series and composer Ankit Tiwari in legal trouble.

Filmmaker Jai Prakash has claimed that the number has been lifted from a lesser-known song, Nasha Sar Pe Chadke Bole, from his film Dee Saturday Night (2014). Tiwari has composed both the songs.

Speaking to mid-day, Prakash said, "I was shocked when I heard Piya More, it's the same as Nasha Sar Pe Chadke Bole."

The director further elaborates that this is a case of copyright infringement. "They [makers of Baadshaho] must have asked Ankit to compose an item song and he conveniently lifted the song from my film. Ankit must have thought, 'Film kisiko maloom nahi hai, producer flop baitha hua hai, kaun action lega?'"

Prakash has decided to take legal recourse. "I discussed the matter with Ashoke Pandit (vice president of IMPPA) and other members of the committee. They insisted that I take legal action."

He adds, "I'm shocked that people like Bhushan Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Milan Luthria, who are spending R100 crore on the film, cannot [get their composer to] create another [original] song! I'll take legal action against them and stop the movie's release, if need be."

When mid-day reached out to Tiwari, he said, "The two songs are definitely not similar. If you get a music expert to listen to both songs, he'll tell you about [the difference in their] tunes and chord progression."

Vinod Bhanushali, [president, T-Series] says the company approved the song composed by Tiwari and included it in the film. "How would I know if the music composer has sent us a tune which is similar [to an existing song]? Mr Jai Prakash should ideally contact Ankit Tiwari. The matter is between them."
