Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Kriti Sanon, has been creating buzz lately. However, the film recently found itself in a controversy after many alleged that its latest song Mashooqa, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, was copied. Many labelled it as plagiarised, comparing it to the 1993 Italian song Se So Arrubate A Nonna by duo Bibi and Coco, claiming that it sounds similar.

Mashooqa singer defends Pritam

Amid the claims, the song's singer, Raghav Chaitanya, has come forward to defend music composer Pritam Chakraborty, calling the plagiarism allegations “completely baseless.”
