The song in the end credits of Farah Khan's 'Happy New Year' may have left viewers on a high but composer-singer Surj of the RDB (Rhythm, Dhol Bass) music group is hardly amused. Surj has sent a legal notice to Red Chillies, the producers of the film, alleging that his song has been used without consent.
